Dr. Jessica Scholl's @st_kates physical therapy students got physical as they did some major housekeeping and fulfilled 50 book requests! 🏋️

Thank you for sharing your time in service to our readers, and for being open to learning more about life "on the inside."

We’re still $623 away from our #ValentinesDay letter writing campaign goal. Donate here to help send messages of care and connection to 2,600 people who are incarcerated: https://t.co/33hzm7z1cZ.

Our collective member Dana is overjoyed by Twin Cities Geek's book drive results! 57 boxes of books, in all genres, in excellent condition is an outstanding way to start 2024. Thank you, thank you, thank you! @TwinCitiesGeeks

We have so many people to thank! But in the meantime, we're back to another day of picking, packing, and mailing books tomorrow. Do you know a great cause that didn't meet their goal? Shout it out in the comments 👇

Since November 1st, people from across the United States have been giving to our campaign to fund brand-new books for readers in prison...

...and on top of $8,589 in online gifts, we received a surprise, anonymous gift of $10,000 in the mail!

That brings our total to $18,589!

There are many amazing causes to support on Give to the Max Day, and we're grateful you could share your donations with WPBP. We'll use these funds to avoid prison restrictions on used books, ultimately getting more books into the hands of those who request them.

You have shown such wonderful support for our brand-new books campaign. We're keeping our campaign up for anyone who still feels moved to give to our incarcerated readers: https://t.co/hwa1dQ9ruc

We've also got some exciting news about an offline gift... stay tuned 👀

[Women's Prison Book Project @wpbp]

Wow! Donations are still trickling in this morning! We are getting so close to our $10,000 goal. We're leaving our fundraiser up until tonight, and we'll report our total to you then! 👀

There's still time to give. Use this link:

Hello, night owls! We're sending out one last post before midnight to let y'all know we are much closer to our goal than you can probably tell. With enough shares, we could reach our goal by midnight! Give or share here: https://t.co/hwa1dQ9ruc
