RISE started the holiday book drive project for the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital children in 2021. The goal is to share the gift of reading this holiday season by raising money and receiving donations from public libraries in the San Francisco and San Mateo districts. In 2023, we raised $1500 which could buy around 200 books for children at the Benioff Children’s Hospital. In 2024, we hope to raise even more money through fundraising and receiving donations from public libraries.
