We had a blast at Final Friday in Midtown, and attendees sponsored a whole box of packages to be sent out next week! 

3 of our core members will be moving this month. While Mississippi and BHB will miss them, Louisiana and Tennessee will gain some rad new residents. This organization has meant a lot to all of us, and a big part of us will be missing at the end of this month. 

In their honor, we are working to find postage sponsors for all of the unmailed and wrapped packages we have. Please consider sponsoring a package for $3 through the donate link, and share with a friend! 

If you are interested in getting more involved with BHB, now is a great time. Hit us up: bighousebooksms{at}gmail.com

Thank you Deonica for sponsoring a package! 

Thank to Zach for sponsoring 15 packages, and for making our 2nd ever Bitcoin donation! 

Thank you Patrick and Pearl River Flow blog for sponsoring two packages. 

Thanks to Brooks and Christian for sponsoring a package! 

Thanks to the Chapmans for sponsoring a package. 

Thank you to Edgar and Stephen for sponsoring these packages! 

Thank you Mary for sponsoring a package! 

We have around 100 packages wrapped, ready, and waiting to be shipped. Shipping costs around $3 – $5 for each package. For less than the cost of a meal, you can sponsor one of those packages and get it shipped ASAP. Click on any of our donation links (right sidebar) to sponsor a package. You can also become a sustaining supporter by checking the box marked “Make This Recurring (monthly)”. Thank you for your support!

Bring out your paperback books and cash donations! We’ve got a ton of unfilled requests and need more postage funds to keep up.

 

Thank you to all our volunteers and donors who make this possible!

Almost exactly 1 year ago, the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective challenged Jackson to start a local prison books organization to serve Mississippi’s incarcerated population.

We celebrated 1 year of accepting the challenge with our first book packing party!
We filled all of the outstanding book requests from Parchment Correctional Facility, some of which have been waiting a very long time for books!
