This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is not an individual — it’s a whole organization! As the 12th annual Book Harvest event takes place this year, collecting tens of thousands of books for kids and families in need.
“There’s newborns being born every day, and we want to provide them with books… The need is always there,” said Benay Hicks, of Book Harvest. “And Book Harvest is going to continue to fill it.”
According to Hicks, Book Harvest has collected over 1.9 milli0n books, and is expected to hit its two millionth donated book in 2023. For more information about Book Harvest, donations and events — visit Book Harvest’s website here.
