Hi MYL Foundation alumni and friends! Please let us know if you plan to join us at our Winter Service Event. Our event will be on Saturday, February 22 from 12PM--3:30PM. We will be meeting at Lasell University; their address is 85 Maple Road, Auburndale, MA 02466. We will be providing lunch around 12:30 and driving to More Than Words together at 1:30 (there will be extra drivers if you aren't taking a car).

More Than Words is a non-profit social enterprise that empowers youth who are in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. Your donations will directly support hands on job training--empower youth to work as a team to manage their own retail and online bookstore. Your support helps youth develop real life skills and self-confidence for their transition to adulthood.

Part of this event is a book drive! If you have any books in good condition that you were planning to get rid of, please consider bringing them!.You can also host a book drive at school or at work; the link below has a ton of promotional material and information about the types of books that are accepted (in short, anything that's in good condition and up-to-date is okay).
