Employees at Volunteers of America are traversing the area this week dropping off gift bags with book-themed cupcakes to say thank you to their volunteers who usually staff the book tables at the Christmas Bureau.
Volunteers of America, Catholic Charities and The Spokesman-Review team up each year to put on the Christmas Bureau, handing out grocery store vouchers to families in need at Christmas, along with a toy and a book for each child.
“At the Volunteers of America, our part is the books,” said Marketing and Communication Director Rae-Lynn Barden. “That’s what we do. We couldn’t do it without volunteers.”
