This spring, United Way of Passaic County is bringing the joy of reading directly to students through special sponsored Scholastic Book Fairs—and we invite you to be part of this meaningful experience.
School 15, Paterson (98 Oak St) — April 21–24
School 17, Clifton (361 Lexington Ave) — May 18–22
For many of the children we serve—especially those in ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families—purchasing books is often a luxury. These book fairs create a truly special moment where every child can choose books of their own to take home, building not only literacy, but confidence, excitement, and a sense of ownership.
We are seeking volunteers to serve in a variety of roles, including:
✨ Assistant Shoppers – Help students find their “just right” books
✨ Check-Out Support – Keep the experience smooth and organized
✨ Greeters – Welcome students and create a warm, joyful environment
Whether you join us for a few hours or multiple days, your time will help create a memorable experience—placing books, joy, and opportunity into the hands of children across our community.
Sign up below to be part of this special experience. Please keep an eye out for an email from info@unitedwaypassaic.org for confirmation on your days and times.
