Each year, CSVANW holds a holiday book drive that benefits children who, through no fault of their own, find themselves spending their holidays in a shelter due to domestic violence. Since its inception, CSVANW and Shumakolowa have donated more than 700 new Native American themed books for shelters throughout New Mexico.
This year, CSVANW will collaborate with Red Planet Books & Comics, a Native American-owned business in Downtown Albuquerque, because the store features culturally-relevant options of books and comics from Native and indigenous artist and writers.
Studies suggest that children who witness violence in their homes may exhibit adjustment difficulties. These children also often have lower self-esteem and are prone to anxiousness, worry, and fear. Reading provides a safe escape for them and an opportunity for connection.
So we humbly ask you to please consider purchasing a book to support our children who may be spending their Christmas in a shelter.
Here are some ways you can give:
