DONATE MONEY

Although our books are mostly donated, and labor is voluntary, the cost of mailing each package is about $3.00.
We cannot survive without cash donations.
If you can possibly help us, please make your check payable to:

BELL STREET CHAPEL and MARK IT AS A DONATION TO BOOKS THROUGH BARS.
This will make your donation tax deductible.
Otherwise, we can take a check made out to:

Providence Books Through Bars
(please mail to)
Books Through Bars
Bell Street Parish House
3 Bell Street Providence, RI 02908

THANK YOU!!!
