Welcome to Love Your Neighbor Books, an exciting new chapter in helping others through the power of social entrepreneurship. From the generosity of libraries, colleges, retailers, and people in our community, Love Your Neighbor Books provides meaningful work opportunities to people living with autism and other special needs. A simple formula with big results: We bring donated books to our community partners and train their staff and participants on how to sell online...and people develop the skills for finding careers and pursuing their dreams. Plus, the sales help to fund programs in education, social skills, athletics, and much more.
