This week we welcome Tony Yayo as our reporter and guest for our 2008 "Community Service Tour" in New York City. Here is Tony Yayo's perspective on working with The Book Bank Foundation:
"I would like to thank Glenn Toby and The Book Bank Foundation for allowing me to join their Book Bank Foundation Community Service Tour.
I was granted the right to join them because of my prior hard work and sincere commitment to people in need. I was ordered to perform community service for a case I had in NYC. We chose this organization because they are visible and active in our community.
My ten (10) ten day tour allowed me to help people by doing physical labor and inspiring them to stay on the right path. I brought the people we served clothing, pizza, and candy and I bought some dvd players.
Any rapper or citizen can join The Book Bank Foundation and contribute to society. I have been doing this for (4) four years now. Glenn Toby is not biased. The whole hip hop community needs to step up and do more for the people of New York that are in need.
I visited churches, schools, homeless shelters and joined The BBF with there fight against homelessness in Jamaica Queens."

We thank Tony Yayo for sharing his perspective on the importance of the work that The Book Bank Foundation is doing in New York City.
The Book Bank Foundation is active all over the country! In recent weeks, some wonderful authors have donated books. We want to send a big thanks out to Candace Sandy and Dawn Marie Daniels for the autographed copies of Souls Revealed that they donated to us.
The BBF is looking for individuals or companies to sponsor storage units where we can house the generous donations we receive from our volunteers and donors. If you are interested in sponsoring a storage facility, please drop us an email at info@thebbf.org .
The BBF could use your donations of gently used spring and summer clothes. We also welcome your donations of toys, books (both new and used), toiletries, blankets and non-perishable food items. Please contact us if you have any of these items ready for donation and we will arrange to pick them up!
In humble service,
Trish Omoqui
Executive Compliance Officer
