The annual Children’s Book Drive in the area is wrapping up in the next week. Over 1,200 books have already been collected in the past six weeks from three locations. The Book Drive has distributed over 14,000 books to underprivileged children in Door and Kewaunee counties in the past 20 years. Kewaunee County Food Pantry president Ken Marquardt says parents really appreciate the opportunity to get books for their kids every year.
The Book Drive will finish up at Stodola’s IGA in Luxemburg Friday, Denny’s Super Valu in Algoma on Monday and at Bayside Home Medical in Sturgeon Bay next Friday. The Marv Bins Food Pantry in Casco and Feed My People in Door County are also distributing books this year along with the Kewaunee County Food Pantry.
