In early February, House of Ruth’s development director Elizabeth Kiker was invited to speak at the Two Rivers Public Charter School about House of Ruth’s Kidspace program. Over 100 kindergarten and first graders filled the auditorium, who had collectively raised more than $1,600 for books for children at Kidspace by selling hot cocoa and snack mix.
The kids specifically raised money for children who can’t afford books to have more books—and thanks to their hard work and generosity, Kidspace will now have wonderful new books for the children we serve. What an inspirational morning for all of us.
