As part of this year’s campaign supporting the United Way of Central Alabama, the Alabama Power Service Organization (APSO) hosted a book drive benefiting United Way partner agency Better Basics. Employees donated 178 books by ordering from a preapproved Amazon wish list.

“We’re so grateful to APSO for including this book drive as part of the United Way campaign this year,” said Alisa Boone, director of development and communications for Better Basics. “These books will be so valuable for our programs this year to help students grow and develop reading-comprehension skills. We always need a supply of new books as we continue to work with students across central Alabama.”

“I was excited to participate in this book drive and provide new books for children during this difficult time,” said Susan McKinney, an accounting services manager and APSO member. “I’m so glad APSO has been able to continue to support our communities through virtual volunteer projects this year.”
