Two ways to support Making Spirits Bright this week:

1. Shop at Road Less Traveled Books in downtown Farmington on June 19. They're donating 20% of all sales that day to us!

2. Did you know you can round up your Walmart and Kroger purchases to benefit MSB? Every receipt, a few extra cents adds up. Here's how to set it up: https://makingspiritsbright.org/donate/

Both take almost no effort. Both make a real difference. Thank you for being part of this community!

Give to a Detroit-based non-profit that promotes literacy and donates books to schools, families, prisons, shelters and more.
