In September, several Well's Fargo employees chose to volunteer at BOOKS for the BARRIOS during United Way's annual Week of Caring. These passionate men and women worked hard to make sure that they could pack as many boxes as possible to be sent to needy children overseas. Many were shocked to see the large amount of quality educational materials that could have been dumped into landfills. Over the week, they packed over 200 boxes, which will enhance the quality of education for over 10,000 children. These books will stock many shelves in libraries developed by BOOKS for the BARRIOS in the most remote, under-served areas worldwide. We would like to thank the volunteers who took a little time off work to make a big difference.
