Chapman Partnership, Books and Books begin new collaboration with book fair
Books and Books Literary Foundation recently partnered with Miami-Dade’s largest emergency shelter, Chapman Partnership, for a first of its kind event at CP North Campus in Miami.
The first Big Book Fair event launched this collaboration aimed to promote literacy and enrichment for families and individuals overcoming homelessness. The foundation distributed $10,000 worth of books to attendees and featured a presentation and book singing by Zoo Miami Communications Director Ron Magill, author of The Pride of a Lion (coauthored by Greg Cote.)
The Books and Books Literary Foundation was established by Mitch Kaplan, owner of Books and Books, to cultivate a love of books and a community of free expression in Miami. Learn more at booksandbooks.com/foundation.
Chapman Partnership was founded in 1995 and operates the largest emergency homeless assistance centers with 800 beds with locations in Miami and Homestead. For thirty years the nonprofit has provided a comprehensive and innovative “village” of support for unhoused men, women, and children. The support includes housing, meals, health and psychiatric care, wellness programs, employment training and placement, and assistance with securing permanent homes.
Aided by generous donors and sponsors, we uplift the unhoused, providing the tools and hope necessary to build a positive, independent future. An award-winning organization, Chapman Partnership is designated as a top ranked four-star charity from nationally recognized nonprofit evaluator Charity Navigator. Chapman Partnership is the private sector partner of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust.
