ONGOING COMMUNITY PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

The Community Pantry
Gallup, New Mexico
Since 2021, GGAB has come alongside The Community Pantry of Gallup to enhance the Food 4 Kids food program with literacy resources. 810 children attending 27 different schools utilize this program on a weekly basis. Providing nutritious food for the children ensures they don't go without food on days when school is not in session.
Native American Community Outreach
New books were distributed to K-3 grade children of the Hozho Academy in Gallup, NM. The children were thrilled to take home a new GGAB book.
Just look at those smiles! Our partnership with The Community Pantry of Gallup, New Mexico, made this outreach project possible!

CELEBRATING VOLUNTEERISM


WHAT MAKES OUR BOOKS DIFFERENT?
GGAB prides itself on giving high-quality, award-winning books, including Caldecott-awarded titles.
#GGABooks are first lovingly and individually packaged with a bookmark. The book is then given to the children we serve via our community project partners. The packaged book is a gift and should be presented as such. Every child deserves to feel the excitement of receiving a new #GGABook!
SHARE YOUR #TogetherGGAB STORY!

Have you been the recipient of a #GGAbook? Have you had the pleasure of participating in an event with GGAB? Please take a moment to share your own testimonial with our organization, donors, and our partners.
Your story matters!

In these challenging times, children need our support more than ever.
Our vision is to put books in the hands of more children to inspire a lifelong love of reading and educational success.
It would be amazing if we can count on your help and support.
