Barnes & Noble has selected United Way of Westchester and Putnam (UWWP) in White Plains to be the recipient of its 2020 Holiday Book Drive, which runs through Dec. 12 in its Eastchester, White Plains and Yonkers stores. At check-out, customers are encouraged to purchase an additional book for children ages 0-10, which is then donated to the book drive.
“We could not do this annual book drive without the generosity of everyone in the community,” said Barnes & Noble Store Manager Jonathan Castro. “I want to thank everyone that has donated to United Way of Westchester and Putnam through this program”¦.”
All the books donated will go toward United Way”™s United2Read early literacy program or will be distributed as holiday presents to children in need in Westchester and Putnam. Through its United2Read program, UWWP has collected and distributed nearly 15,000 books.
