We’re proud to be featured! 💙
OPRF IWS was recently spotlighted by Best Version Media - a publication dedicated to highlighting local stories and organizations that bring communities together
Take a look at pages 22–23 to see our recent Service Day in action.
Our reading program sends every IWS Children’s Clinic patient home with a book after their appointment, helping spread the joy of reading to disadvantaged households that may not otherwise have books of their own.
💌 HOW TO DONATE:
Please drop off all small donations (1 to 2 boxes) of gently used children’s books to the IWS Children’s Clinic (28 Madison Street) during clinic hours. If your donation is larger than 2 boxes, please message us to coordinate a drop-off time.

Double the joy! Look at this adorable set of twins who recently visited the Clinic for their 6-month well-child check-up. They are bundled up in cozy sweaters they picked up at their last visit - knitted by the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association.
How cute are they?! 😍
