Good Deed: Bi-Lo supports literacy with book donations

After purchasing several elementary-level books from area Bi-Lo stores, I noticed they were closing out their book displays. As a former teacher, who is never too shy to ask for donations, I decided to ask the stores to donate the books to me so I could distribute them to schools in the immediate area.

Every manager, without hesitation, packed up the books and graciously donated them to me. I’d like to give a big shout-out to the Bi-Lo stores on Lee Highway, Ooltewah-Ringgold Road and East Brainerd Road. A fourth store I asked had already promised the books to its area school.

Thank you, Bi-Lo, for all you do for Hamilton County Schools. We appreciate you.
