Come to Picture Book to get your kids’ summer reading and support the great work of SPRING Community Partners! Picture Book is putting up an expanded section of books for elementary and middle school students on Wednesday, just in time to stock your kids up for camp or the extra reading-for-pleasure hours of the summer. The selection will include new releases in chapter books and graphic novels, Newbery Award winners, and a few classics by authors like Judy Blume, Lois Lowry, and Gary Paulsen. 10% of all sales on Wednesday will be donated to SPRING Community Partners.
About Spring
In the fall of 2007, four kindergarten students without snacks and warm winter clothing inspired a few concerned teachers and parents to SPRING into action, so they organized a holiday drive for coats and gifts. Soon a small network of parents became Snack Fairies for young students without healthy snacks.
Some families in our community struggle to meet basic needs or find themselves in difficult circumstances. That’s where SPRING steps in to help.
SPRING provides support to families with school-aged children challenged by the costs of school supplies, clothing and food. We assist in ensuring all children have access to participation in various in-school and extracurricular programs. SPRING partners with the Dobbs Ferry Food Pantry and Hastings-on-Hudson based nonprofit Family-to-Family on food support.
SPRING provides necessary resources so that all children in Dobbs Ferry, regardless of means, can bloom, grow and reach their full potential. Our programs have expanded beyond food, clothing and school supplies to include academic guidance, musical instrument rentals, sports and enrichment support, senior awards and more.
