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!
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
“Thank you so much for your incredible partnership and helping The Food Depot to provide so many wonderful books to youth who attend some of our programs.”

WHAT IS A #GGABOOK?
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!
