Book Distribution at George B. Swift Specialty School

Tuesday, February 14, 7:30 a.m. — 3:30 p.m.

Volunteers needed for two-hour shifts!

Please register online and then contact Dell Harmsen,

Director for Member Engagement, for a time slot.

Volunteers are needed for IWA book distribution at Swift Specialty School, a Chicago Public School attended by many refugee and immigrant children.

Swift is a major recipient of IWA volunteerism and philanthropy, including this book distribution, in which each student chooses a free book to take home and call his own.

This heart-warming event is key to the mission of IWA — and it is fun!

Volunteers are needed for shifts of about two hours, setting up + taking down the book displays and helping students select their books. One volunteer with a car is needed to help take a few books from the IWA office to the school.

Address: 5900 North Winthrop Avenue, Chicago

(Free street parking, also at CTA redline stop, Thorndale)

If you have already offered to volunteer, thank you! Dell will contact you about scheduling.
