HELP OUT: Project READ Family Story Hour

This project is named in honor of Frances (Sissy) Geballe, who believed that children reading and being read to are the really lucky ones. Thank you Sissy for all you have done for the Bay Area community!
 

Project READ, Redwood City's Story Hour program offered an evening of fun with a live performance, songs, crafts, snacks, and books to take home that youth participants and their families looked forward to attending each month.

Volunteers will prep and organize crafts that will be used during the event by cutting, sorting, and organizing different arts and crafts supplies. Volunteers will also help participants make the crafts after the performance.
