We are thrilled to share these events that the WIIIN Impact Committee planned to support local causes that provide mission critical services to our community.
Our November 19th event will benefit Words Alive, an organization committed to inspiring a commitment to reading. Volunteers will gather in the Words Alive offices to prepare materials for children, teens and families, creating programming that goes directly into the hands of young readers. Tasks may include packing backpacks, organizing curriculum, sorting materials, or whatever is the most pressing need that day.

About Words Alive:
Words Alive was established in 1999 by Leslye Lyons, a social worker and voracious reader. The organization was founded on the belief that if you value reading and understand its fundamental connection to all aspects of your life, then you will be better equipped to thrive as a lifelong learner and productive member of your community.
Today, Words Alive proudly serves 5,000 students and families every year through the support of our cadre of volunteers who donate thousands of hours every year.
Our November 20th event will benefit Baby2Baby, for families in need across the country. Projects volunteers might help with include, but are not limited to, sorting clothing, packaging items into specialized bundles, and inventorying items such as hygiene products, toys, diapers.

About Baby2Baby:
Baby2Baby is a national nonprofit led by Co-CEOs Kelly Sawyer Patricof and Norah Weinstein that provides children living in poverty with diapers, clothing and all the basic necessities that every child deserves. In the last 14 years, Baby2Baby has distributed half a billion critical items to children in homeless shelters, domestic violence programs, foster care, hospitals and underserved schools as well as children who have lost everything in the wake of disaster. Baby2Baby is reaching more than one million children annually in all 50 states. The session will take place at Baby2Baby's Los Angeles warehouse. Our warehouse is a large space that is not fully enclosed. The project will be dependent on the highest need at the time of your session but will consist of your group preparing basic essentials to send to families in need across the country. When Baby2Baby can provide these critical items, parents are able to put food on the table, keep their lights on, pay their rent and get back on their feet.
