Week of Kindness collects books for Bernie's Book Bank
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group in Lake Forest will host a communitywide children's book drive for Bernie's Book Bank, which provides books to low-income families who desperately need them in the Chicagoland area.
The program will run June 6-13 at their office, 778 N. Western Ave. in Lake Forest. Gently-used and new books for children in sixth grade and younger are welcome. Lake Forest Bookstore is ready to help customers make selections for donation as well.
Additionally, more than 80 Lake Forest Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group Realtors and staff will collect and sort books for Bernie's Book Bank during the KoenigRubloff Cares Foundation companywide Week of Kindness.
"This event has really made us think about the importance of books in our lives and the impact they have," said Mark Pasquesi, vice president and managing broker of the Lake Forest office.
"Think about your favorite book when you were a child, or if you have kids, think of your child's favorite book. We hope you'll consider sharing that book with a child who is less fortunate."
