ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR DISTRIBUTES BOOKS TO MORE THAN 500 CHILDREN
During the week of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, local Enterprise Rent-A-Car employees volunteered with NJ After 3 to distribute children’s books to more than 500 children in after-school programs in Perth Amboy and Lakewood.
More than 900 books were donated by Enterprise Rent-A-Car employees, customers and partners in the Central New Jersey Region.
“In the spirit of Dr. King, the book drive spreads hope and peace through development of literacy,” said John Keogh, human resources generalist manager for the Central New Jersey Region of Enterprise Rent-A-Car. “Through continuing Dr. King’s message of service, we hope to help the youth of our community break barriers and improve their lives.”
In addition to the book drive and distribution, Enterprise volunteers helped lead a “Speak Out and Listen Up” campaign. The campaign educated children on the teachings of Dr. King by helping them explore their own voices and assist in creating communities that support and celebrate literacy development, hope and peace.
