DC Books to Prisoners |

"Since 1999, DC Books to Prisons Project has provided free books to prisoners around the country. We also develop and support local prison libraries. Our work is done solely by concerned volunteers on donated time and resources. Unlike some programs, we do not limit requests for books to a particular geographic area or demographic group; therefore, we receive a tremendous number of requests. Yearly, we send out 2,000 to 4,000 packages. These packages go to prisoners in 150 different prisons in all 50 states"
What you will do?
Help them match requests from prisoners to the donated books and write brief letters to the prisoners

How to get there:
Two and a half blocks east of Dupont Circle, Foundry United Methodist Church generously provides space for the project and our donated library. The church is located at 1500 16th St NW, Washington DC, 20036.
To get there via metro, take the red line to Dupont Circle, leave via the south entrance, walk partially around the circle to P St. and go east 2.5 blocks.
Once you get to the church (door on 16th St.) ring the doorbell to be let in, then go downstairs. Turn left, go to the end of the hall, then turn right. We are the last door on the right after the bathrooms (B2). The church is wheelchair accessible via a ramp on 16th Street, located to the right of the steps, and an elevator within the building.
