When Klein United Women in Faith formed a few years ago, they realized that most of their members were avid readers, so they chose literacy as one of the social priorities for their unit. One of the ways they decided they could help was to install book boxes where children can take books to read for free.
Their first two boxes were installed on their church campus and are meant to serve the Children’s Weekdays Ministries and Food Pantry clients. This July they followed that up by installing another book in the Five Oaks community, a neighborhood near their church.
The Klein unit partnered with the youth from their church who helped them with the installation. Now women from the unit check the box–regularly adding new books to keep the library fresh. The Children who might not be able to make it to the nearest public library now have a source of books to read thanks to United Women in Faith.
