The POP Project continues to grow to fill the needs of Western North Carolina. And with an increase in capacity comes an increase in needs.
This holiday season, give back to your community. Help POP line up a successful New Year. Please take a look at our wish list, and contact us to donate today!
The POP Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Contact your tax adviser about donation deductions.
General Items: | |
* | 6-Foot Folding Tables – $54.99 each POP regularly holds book sorting volunteer opportunities outside, and we need a few more folding tables. Sometimes we have to rent tables. Help us purchase them once and then have them whenever they are needed. Click here to purchase these online, or contact us today to make a donation toward this item. |
* | Folding Hand Truck – $39.99 When POP makes donations, we like to donate big! Help us move more books – and save space – with this folding hand truck! Click here to purchase one online, or contact us today to make a donation toward this item. |
* | Portable Radio – $14.99 It’s fun to sort books with like-minded people. It’s even more fun when there’s music. Don’t you agree? Click here to purchase one online, or contact us today to make a donation toward this item. |
* | Gas Cards – $10 each POP donates books across Western North Carolina and the Southeast. Help us continue our good work without worrying about our gas mileage. Donate one card, or help us buy several! |
Development Needs: | |
* | Volunteer Locations Many of POP’s volunteer opportunities take place outside, at the storage unit wherein we keep our books. Sometimes, weather conditions affect our ability to follow through with our volunteer days. Do you know of a place we can use as a rain location? (Short term storage capacity may be required.) Send your ideas to us today! |
* | Storage Sponsors – $60.00/month New for 2013, POP is asking for monthly storage sponsors. Sponsors will be recognized in our monthly newsletter and on our social media sites. You will also receive our undying gratitude. Contact us today for more information. |
* | Drop Box Locations In 2012, POP received hundreds of books anonymously through our donation drop box. We would love to expand our reach by adding drop boxes to more places in the area. Would your business or organization be interested in hosting a drop box? Contact us today for more information. |
Volunteers Needed! | |
* | POP is looking for volunteers to help with our upcoming programs.
If you are able to help with our Banned Book Week event, please let us know today! If you would like to be informed of all upcoming volunteer opportunities, please email apopproject@gmail.com. |
Thank you so much for your generous support!

Are y’all married to the 6ft tables from acehardware.com? I ask because I just saw at ALDI that they have 6ft folding tables for $34.99. They look pretty much identical, and I’d be delighted to purchase one of those and donate it, if that would be acceptable. Please let me know!
Here’s a link to the ALDI tables, so you can have a look at the specs: http://www.aldi.us/us/html/offers/2827_19248_ENU_HTML.htm
Wow, Jenny, good spot! No, we weren’t attached to the ones from Ace. They were just the most affordable ones we thought we could find. 🙂
Please let us know when and where to meet you. We are more than excited to accept your donation!
Good news! I’ve got a brand-spanking-new table with your name on it! What’s a good time and place for me to drop it off? Also, in case you find the budget for any more, the ALDI on Patton had about a dozen left when I was there today. 🙂
