Grandmothers for Peace to host 40th annual book and art supply drive
TWIN PORTS — The Northland Grandmothers for Peace are gearing up for their 40th annual book and art supply drive this holiday season.
The organization is collecting gifts that promote peaceful play and creativity for children. There are eight locations across the Twin Ports sponsoring donation boxes, making it simple and easy for people to drop supplies throughout the region. The book and art supply drive begins on Nov. 21 and ends on Dec. 19. Once everything is collected, the donations will go to the American Indian Community Housing Organization and the Center Against Sexual and Domestic Abuse.
“It’s really heart-opening work, and it’s really important, and it’s so exciting to bring in the gifts and get that feedback from the program,” said Dorothy Wolden, president of the Northland Grandmothers for Peace.
