Our first fundraising project is to sell donated books from individual and institutional libraries. Books are precious things, but comes the sad day when you realize you won't be able to take your cherished friends with you when you leave the Earth (not like astronauts...silly). If the thought that your book collections will end up in a landfill makes you ill, consider contacting SW Corner NH. You
can donate the books out right, take the tax deduction, and we come and get them (within 100 miles of our corner of the state). We will sell the books and the profits with go towards a social project we're starting. You can pay a research fee and we'll find a library or institution that would love to take your donation. You ship the books directly to their new home (we'll help with the logistics). You consign the books and we sell them. The percentages haven't been worked out completely yet, but we would split the seller's fees from whatever selling platform is used and the cost of coming to get them. Right now, the option that isn't available (because, um, no money) is to buy your books for a couple of dollars a piece (basically, yard sale prices). Hopefully, someday we can do this. So, what is this money going to? People with special needs are living longer, but not their parents (with whom these folks live, more often than not). A lot of them have lives, jobs, established supports, but can languish on residential waiting lists when the need comes for new homes. We are raising money to establish future housing opportunities for these folks. SW Corner NH is the trade name of an LLC registered in good standing with the state of New Hampshire. More with be posted about all of this in the days and weeks to come!
