Literacy Campaign Continues

The literacy campaign collected 50 books and $15 and donated books and funds to local libraries.

The STC Boston Chapter also donated $500 to the literacy program at the Pine Street Inn. The Pine Street Inn (http://www.pinestreetinn.org) is a not-for-profit organization committed to men, women and children in need of shelter, sustenance, and the basic moral and material supports necessary to lead a dignified and stable life.
