UPS Store in Lakewood Ranch donates 1,707 books to the Rotary's Books for Kids program. - Your Observer
The Books for Kids program distributes more than 30,000 books a year now and has given away more than 100,000 books since 2013.
The truck pulled up in front of The UPS Store at 8429 Lorraine Road in Lakewood Ranch, and it was time for store owner Mike Hornyak to unload boxes of books.Hornyak opened The UPS Store at the location in January, adding to his other locations on Palmbrush Trail in Lakewood Ranch and in western Bradenton. One of The UPS Store's nationwide programs that started in 2022 was asking customers if they wanted to donate change by rounding up to the next dollar amount.
Store owners would send the donations to the national office in San Diego. When the store owners collected more than $1,500, they could request the donations be used locally in the area of their location.
