Morry and everyone at ClarkMorgan have been a huge reason for our recent successes at TLP. They have conducted non-stop book collections throughout China that have helped support 16 rural elementary schools in less than 1.5 years. They also raise awareness with their current client base about TLP. We cannot thank them enough.

Love Box Self Storage – Donates a free storage space

Love Box Self Storage believes in helping non-profit organizations in creative ways to maximize their good work. Love Box first heard about The Library Project in early 2009 from one of our staff members. After finding out more details about the organization’s great work in building community libraries in rural parts of China, Love Box decided to help by offering one of our self storage units for free. With their main operations based in Xi’an, The Library Project can now use our self storage facility as a friendly, convenient and safe way to store their marketing collateral and materials for fundraising events held regularly in Shanghai. “Love Box Self Storage has helped us to considerably cut down on our overhead expenses by offering us a free space to store our posters, flyers, and other materials that we use at our Shanghai fundraising events. Because of their support we are able to spend more of a donor’s financial contribution on books, and less on shipping costs,” says Tom Stader, The Library Project’s Founder. Love Box Self Storage is also our first book donation drop-off point in Shanghai.

And really, don’t they not have the cutest logo ever created? Seriously…

Over the past two years PFW have been huge supports of The Library Project. They have donated three libraries and will also donate another two libraries in 2010. What makes PFW such a special donor is how their employees get involved. Their employees most recently conducted a book, educational toy and school supply collection campaign at their factory in Yanliang, China. PFW then donated the items to The Library Project at their annual Chinese New Year Party. Below are some great photos of the PFW team, the items they donated and the party.

These donated items will go into rural elementary schools in Lantian County in the Shaanxi Province. Thank you PFW!
