Huge Donation of Books!

August 15, 2009

This week we received an incredible donation of 20,000+ books from the Accelerated Schools off of Evans and Cook. What an incredible donation! This donation included brand new and used books, all in wonderful condition!

The staff at this school are so very nice and care so much about the kids that attend this school! This school is set up in a 1890's mansion. Its beautiful and fun to see them turn it into a school friendly environment!

Please keep checking our Book Store, we have a lot of new items to list!

2009 Book Drive


Our very 1st Annual Book Drive was this past weekend on August 1st and 2nd. And much to our surprise, it was extremely successful!

Saturday is was pretty slow but we still received about 1200-1500 books. Sunday was busy all day and we were able to completely fill up our 16' truck! We received not only books but thousands of brand new stuffed animals and beanie babies, which are absolutely perfect for the gift bags! We received a ton of brand new items that included reading books, crayons, coloring books, toys, etc. All donations were just absolutely wonderful!

We had a great time meeting and talking to everyone that stopped by! We appreciate the support that we are receiving from the public. We are so excited about where this is all going and can't wait to start making our gift bags and get them delivered! We have a lot of entering and book selling to do first but it will all come together very soon!

Channel 9 News Story

July 30, 2009

Last week The Children's Hospital was contacted by Channel 9 News in regards to doing a story about A.R.K. Angels! They will be interviewing us Thursday morning and the segment is supposed to air that evening. When we know times, we will post them.

This is very exciting for us! We are hoping to really advertise for the Book Drive on August 1st and 2nd. If we can make this event big and make everyone aware of what we are doing then we will be able to provide the kids at the hospital with some great gifts very soon!
