Summer Books for Refugees
This month, Redeemed Reader will be donating every part of the commission we earn as Amazon affiliates to the Summer Feed and Read Program that works with refugee children in Nashville. You might remember it from last summer; one of Redeemed Reader’s co-founders, Emily Whitten, is involved with the program, and it’s an excellent gospel ministry seeking to minister to the refugee community. We encourage you to help by buying books for the program.* (Extra Yarn and Circle Square are two favorites at Redeemed Reader; we’re excited to see them being used.) If that is not in your budget but some summer reading books are, consider shopping through our Redeemed Reader Amazon links this…
