KGGN A Book of Their Own
The KGGN/Hemet, CA (The Vine FM) inaugural “A Book of Their Own” community book drive raised enough to donate more than 1,400 brand-new children’s books through the Rose Again Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting foster children and families throughout the region. The goal was simple: provide children in foster care with a brand-new book they could call their own, offering a small but meaningful reminder that they are seen, valued, and cared for.
Books were collected through The Vine FM’s Story Stops and participating Book Drop locations throughout Southwest Riverside County.
“Over 1,400 brand-new books is an incredible response from our community,” said Chris Thompson, General Manager of The Vine FM. “We hoped this campaign would make a difference, but watching our listeners and local businesses embrace it has been incredibly encouraging. Every one of these books represents a child who will receive something brand-new that belongs to them. We are so grateful to everyone who gave.”
The collected books will now be distributed through the Rose Again Foundation to foster children in the local community.
“This campaign reminded us that sometimes making a difference starts with something as simple as a book,” said Thompson. “One story, one child, one act of kindness at a time, our community can bring hope.”
