Carolyn Bierowski

Carolyn Bierowski has been an annual monetary donor of the Christmas Mother Program’s Book Committee since 2017. Each fall the Committee has been blessed to receive a special note of support for its mission from her with a generous check included to purchase over 100 books for the children it serves. To date, her donations have enabled the purchase of over 600 books which have been placed in many children’s home libraries to provide easy access for daily reading.

Carolyn understands the importance of literacy empowerment and is commended for looking beyond herself to support children in her community who may not otherwise have books in their homes. She is a valuable and appreciated Book Committee literacy partner.
