SUMMARY:VU PHL + Books Through Bars

By fulfilling all requests to the best of their ability\, they work to support self-determination\, self-education\, and healing behind bars. \nBy donating books\, you can help ensure that incarcerated people receive the books they need! \nWhat we will be doing on Saturday\, March 8th \, 11:30AM – 1 :30PM: \nYou’ll have the chance to review heartfelt letters\, select the perfect books for each request\, and help prepare orders by invoicing and packing. With a variety of tasks available each day\, we ensure your experience is both engaging and accommodating—including tailored support for mobility needs. Come be a part of something special! \nNotes ahead of the event! \n\nFace masks are required for this event. \nAfter volunteering\, we will go to a local bar/restaurant for a celebratory afterjawn!\n\n \nParking & Transportation \n\nParking: There is a lot next to Books Through Bars space\, as well as street parking.\nSEPTA:  Books Through Bars is right on the 34 line and close to the 13 or the El.\n\n \nA note about cancellations: \nIf your schedule changes and you can no longer make it\, please email volunteeringuntappedphl@gmail.com ASAP to let us know. This way your spot can be given to someone else on the waitlist. THANK YOU!
