Gifting the love of reading

Sydney DeFrehn and Zara Alousi (pictured, from left) participated in National Charity League (NCL) - Texas Sage Chapter’s book-drive event benefiting Books Between Kids. Mothers and daughters from the NCL chapter gathered for the annual National Day of Service as part of a nationwide effort to collect books for children. After contacting friends, families, and neighbors, the mother-daughter duos collected more than 2,100 books, and then gathered at members’ homes to sort the books and prepare to donate them to Books Between Kids. During the past two years, NCL chapters across the country have collectively donated almost 300,000 books through this effort.
