[ISLMA-Share] Organizations that help people in poverty

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi Amy:
I have no idea if these organizations would be willing to Skype, but here
are two that my district has worked with:

Bernie's Book Bank <http://berniesbookbank.org/> & Feed My Starving Children
<https://www.fmsc.org/>

I hope that helps!
