The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women is Excited to kick off our Annual Little Ones Book Drive. This book drive is an opportunity to call on our relatives to help children who have experienced or witnessed violence cope through connection and storytelling.
Each year, the Little One Book Drive benefits children who will spend the holidays in a shelter due to domestic violence. Since its inception, CSVANW has raised more than 700 new Native American themed books for shelters throughout New Mexico.
Providing books for children and their families helps create a sense of normalcy. Alongside our community donors, we are giving children an escape from any trauma they may have been exposed to while directly or indirectly witnessing violence in their homes.
CSVANW will be at different Holiday markets throughout November 25th - December 15th, 2022 accepting new books.
Locations we will be at are:
- November 25th and 26th 2022, Pueblo Creations' Holiday Market from 10am - 4pm at Loretto Park 237 S Camino Del Pueblo Bernalillo, NM.
- December 3rd, 2022, NACA 7th Annual Holiday Arts and Crafts Sale from 9am -4pm at 12th Street and Indian School Road
