Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter!

We're closing the door on 14 incredible years at Leo Crossing and opening the door to our brand new adventure at 7417 Coldwater Road, right across from Northrop High School! 🏠

Tomorrow, we start this new journey and we can't wait to share it with you through lots of moving photos! It's a bittersweet moment, but we're choosing to focus on the excitement of what's to come!

Want to know what we'll miss most about Leo Crossing? Check out our latest blog post to find out! https://kateskart.org/blog/

We're still on the hunt for a few special touches to make our new space feel like home. Help us out by visiting our moving wish list: https://a.co/049hXadj

NEW ADDRESS: 7417 Coldwater Road, Ft. Wayne, IN 46825.

After years of growing and squeezing into every available corner, and making the most of our current space, we are SO excited to bring our office, book storage, volunteers and operations together under one roof.

We've created an Amazon Wishlist with a few items we'll need to help make our space functional.

NOTE: The Ipad is to monitor our ring doorbell...a used one would suffice if someone has one to donate.

Kate’s Kart, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides FREE books to hospitalized children.

As we prepare for our move into our new space, there's a lot of work happening behind the scenes - including putting together new bookshelves!

More space means more room for books. And more books means more books gifted. And more books gifted means more shelves needed!

Thank you to our AMAZING VOLUNTEERS! 💜
