The Grace Project is constantly being asked by the incarcerated youth at the Justice Center for books to read. The selection of books in the unit is very small and not geared towards male teenagers. In response to their request we are looking for donations of age appropriate books for Unit 2A. They can be new or used. The books will be given to the the sergeant in charge of educational programming, who will see that they are officially stamped and placed in the unit. A tax deduction form can be made available upon request. Thank you for your support. For more information, contact Rev. Johanna or Sarah Reks via gracesyracuse@gmail.com.
