Yesterday, I had the opportunity to volunteer for Kate’s Kart.  They were hosting a fun event to celebrate 5 years.

Kate’s Kart is a unique ministry who gives away new books to children in several area hospitals.  Check out their website for more details of their story and the reason for their existence.  We personally know the founders of this organization, so if you decide you want to contribute in some way, I can assure you that your donation will be handled appropriately.

Many companies had donated FREE ice cream, rides, inflatables, music, etc.  Plus, there was a Scholastic Book Fair.  This is where folks could purchase books for themselves with 40% of the sales being contributed to Kate’s Kart, or they could purchase books & donate their purchases to Kate’s Kart.  I volunteered to work at the book fair for a short 2 hours.

The highlight of the day was hearing the many stories of families who had been recipients of books from Kate’s Kart in their moment of need, and now they were excited to choose & donate books out of gratitude so others could be blessed as well.  I was blessed by their generosity and kindness.
