Bank of America donates books

Bank of America donated three very large cases of books to assist the United Way Women's Initiative in its efforts to promote early childhood literacy.

The April donation benefits Healthy Start, Healthy Families, Lighthouse PATH and Catholic Social Services. Gail Duncan, WI steering committee member, made the delivery. In March, the WI received a generous donation of 600 new soft-covered books from the Detroit Media Partnership, comprised of The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press, and Duncan made that delivery as well.

"For me personally, the greatest part of this project is being able to say, 'keep up the good work,' each time I drop off books at an agency and prepare to leave, empty handed," said Duncan.
