Book Sale Supports Great Cause

Recently, Juniper Village at Brookline Wellspring Memory Care hosted a book sale to benefit the Women’s Resource Center in State College. The fundraiser was planned to highlight Juniper’s theme for the month: Stand in Integrity with Volunteerism. Over the last year, team members throughout Juniper Village collected more than 300 books spanning a wide array of interests. There were topics for everyone, including best sellers, mysteries, biographies, cookbooks, classics, how-to-guides, novels, and even books for children! With the help of Juniper team members and interns, a summer bookstore was set up on the front lawn of Wellspring Memory Care. Community members and Juniper residents alike enjoyed searching through the inventory to find hidden gems that piqued their reading interests. "The book sale is a wonderful way to connect our residents and community while supporting a great cause," said Liz Plozner-Chalfa, executive director at Wellspring." The event was a success, raising $200 for the local Women’s Resource Center, which provides support to women, men, and children who are victims of domestic and dating violence.
