Books for Prisons

The purpose of Books for Prisons is to facilitate and provide recreational and instructional books, magazines and other materials to various groups and organizations.

I love to read, not as much as I like to write stories though. I appreciate those who do love to read because I sit at this lap top creating stories for people just like that.So, thanks. But what I want to share with you is this great group in Visalia called Books for Prisons. They take unwanted books that would be otherwise dumped in a landfill and forgotten and put them in the hands for men and women who desperately want something to read.
If you ever been bored, you know what it's like to crave something, anything to pass the time. They do a lot but they can do so much more. How can they achieve that? Time. Money. Volunteers. It's the same story for all NPOs. But if you have a passion for books or helping those in prison. Please consider contributing to Books for Prisons.

Broken Trailz Equine Rescue

Broken Trailz Equine Rescue is working under the auspices of Love of Animals, Inc. a non-profit organization. 
With the way the economy is today horse owners are finding it difficult to care for horses which results to thousands of unwanted, neglected and abandoned horses in the United States every year.
Broken Trailz give those unwanted horses a second chance by giving them a temporary home with proper housing and care until they are placed in their forever home.
 If you have questions or would like to help you may call or e-mail them.
