Offender/Victim Ministries (OVM) emphasizes justice, accountability, and caring in working with people affected by crime. OVM currently works with over 30 individuals in victim offender conferencing, anger management, and shoplifter education programs, reported Libby Schrag Oswald. She explained, “Because OVM advocates that offender resources be first and foremost available to victims deserving compensation for their losses, some of our programs do not require a fee. This donation will help us meet our expenses for these services.”

Habitat has already built 5 houses for low income families in Harvey County. President Gary Hill said, “Recently Habitat got access to two lots and hopes to be able to build two houses this year.” Most of the work on these houses will be done by volunteers.
During 2010, the 2009 Book ReViews profits will be distributed to Harvey County charities.
Book ReViews welcomes book donations and additional volunteers.

On November 19, 2009, Book ReViews presented a check for $1,500 to CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children.
Director Melanie Watkins said that CASA has experienced significant cuts in funding through federal and state grants. She reported, “We are grateful for this gift because it covers the cost for one child for one year.” CASA through mid-November had 22 more cases than all last year; additional CASA volunteers are needed.
On August 4, 2009 Book ReViews presented a check for $1,000 to Community Playschool Inc, North Newton, KS and $1,000 to Salvation Army, Newton, KS.
The gift to Salvation Army is designated for school supplies. Marcia Brazil, the Service Director for Salvation Army said, “The request for school supplies is greater than ever before, probably due to the economy, so this donation is very timely.” (First photo: Vern Preheim, Manager of Book ReViews, presents a check to Marcia Brazil, Service Director of Salvation Army.)
Upon receiving the check, Jeanette Leary, Co-director of the Community Playschool said, “We are grateful for this gift, because we have more applications for scholarships this year than last year. This donation helps us a lot.” (Second photo: Jeanette Leary (on left), Community Playschool, Co-Director receives check from Judith Bartel, Accountant for Book ReViews.)
Book ReViews, a not for profit store, is located at 707 N Main. The store welcomes book donations and additional volunteers are needed, according to Vern Preheim, the manager.
