    Description

    Book Wagon SF

    The Book Wagon is looking for help distributing free books in San Francisco elementary schools. Its a weekday project but requires only three hours of your time. You can sign up for a once monthly shift, or more than that if it appeals to you. We're going into our fifth year of work and have some good experience behind us. Its immensely rewarding work if you like books and children. All the work is on the east side of the city.

    Location

    On-site

    We start from my house or you can meet me at the location.

    San Francisco, CA, USA
    Directions

    Directions will depend on our location for the day. I bring the book wagon to multiple places so it could depend on the route for the day. It's all within the city.
