The ONE Campaign at Seton Hall University is holding a book drive to benefit the Liberian Literacy Foundation.
ONE is a grassroots campaign and advocacy organization backed by more than 2 million people who are committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. Cofounded by Bono and other campaigners, ONE is nonpartisan and works closely with African policy makers and activists.
Seton Hall's Chapter of ONE works to raise awareness of these issues of extreme poverty and preventable disease within our student body and community.
Education is a powerful pathway out of poverty, and ONE is proud to support the Liberian Literacy Foundation's book collection project.
The book drive is targeted toward children in grades K-12, but we will accept any and all books.
There will be drop boxes in the following locations starting November 11:
The South Orange Public Library (boxes in both the main & children's sections)
Rite Aid
Cait and Abby's
First Presbyterian and Trinity Church
Please contact alyssa.alfano@student.shu.edu or kathryn.leininger@student.shu.edu with any questions.
**We are now able to arrange book pick-ups on Wednesday (the 18th) or Thursday (19th) in South Orange, Maplewood, & Millburn. Please contact us to schedule a time!
