Volunteer Shift of the Month!

Our intentions of getting Volunteer of the Month interviews out on a monthly basis may have stumbled somewhat, but - thankfully - our volunteers themselves have held steady! For this month (and, I suppose, last month,) we’re detailing the “bubble shift” of a group of our at-home wrappers. These are volunteers who pick up paired … Continue reading Volunteer Shift of the Month!

Volunteer(s) of the Month: Gail and Alex!

Hey all, it’s been a little bit since we nominated anybody to be Volunteer of the Month! (Almost a year, in fact.) In spite of - or perhaps because of - how stressful external conditions are right now, we've decided to get back into the groove and publish a series of VOTM interviews over the next … Continue reading Volunteer(s) of the Month: Gail and Alex!

Books to Prisoners & COVID-19

It's time for the inevitable - a post detailing our response to the COVID-19 pandemic! At this point, organizational announcements about C19 are all functionally identical, so I'll skip the preliminaries about these "unprecedented times" and whatnot. Although this is mostly meant to catch up anybody who might be passingly curious about how we've been, … Continue reading Books to Prisoners & COVID-19

Volunteer of the month…..Kim!

Kim is an experienced volunteer who’s done a wonderful job of connecting BTP to outside organizations, especially her workplace (Queen Anne Book Company.) Many of the books we currently hold in stock were donated through a program she started at QABC; to celebrate, we asked her a couple questions about her experiences volunteering with us. … Continue reading Volunteer of the month…..Kim!

We’re Moving! (Again…)

As many of you know, last winter we moved from our old location at University Christian Church to our new home with Crown Hill United Methodists (CHUM.) Unfortunately, the building is being transferred to a new church, and we're being sent out to look for a new space again. This happened with fairly short notice … Continue reading We’re Moving!
