January 21, 2023
Over 100 books were given to the children and their families on this fun-filled family day! Guests were treated to an array of local organizations and businesses that offered their resources to parents and guardians of El Paso children.
WHAT IS A #GGABOOK?
GGAB prides itself on giving high-quality, award-winning books, including Caldecott-awarded titles.
#GGABooks are first lovingly and individually packaged with a bookmark. The book is then given to the children we serve via our community project partners. The packaged book is a gift and should be presented as such. Every child deserves to feel the excitement of receiving a new #GGABook!
