BOOK DONATIONS -- NEW AND GENTLY USED
Throughout the summer and into the fall, RIF of NOVA volunteers have been giving out books to children at fall school supply pick-ups and at various food distribution sites in Alexandria, and in Arlington, Fairfax, and Prince William counties. If you have new or GENTLY used children's books -- from pre-K to young adult (YA) -- please let us know via our email: rifnova@gmail.com.
We will pick them up, bag them by age group for health protection, and deliver them to deserving children/families who are hungry for books to read! It's one of the many ways RIF of NOVA is pivoting during the pandemic to provide books to RIF kids. Thank you!

Fifth grader McKenzie Watt plans on being an author when she grows up. When she learned that some children do not have books in their homes, she set up an organization, Kenzie’s Kids, to collect new and gently used children’s books to distribute to children in the local community, using list serves, porch pick-ups, Facebook, and her charity’s website to advertise for children's book donations. With a recent donation of 250 books to RIF of NOVA, McKenzie will have given nearly 2,000 books to local charities serving children this year! McKenzie voted in our campaign, Votes for Women. See her vote for a woman who inspires her by clicking here. Thank you, McKenzie! You are pretty inspirational yourself!
