Books. Food. Community.

Community Projects that Nourish, Uplift, and Connect.

The Claremont Forum has sponsored wellness, education, and art programs in the community since 1985. We sponsor the Sunday Farmers & Artisans Market in the Claremont Village, the nationwide Prison Library Project, as well as the bookshop in the Claremont Packing House.

Book Donations Needed

Sobriety • Addiction • Recovery • AA & NA Literature

Our volunteers at the Prison Library Project are receiving more letters than ever from incarcerated adults looking for support on their path to sobriety. These books are some of the most requested titles we see, and our shelves are running low.

Your donated books go directly into the hands of someone working toward a better chapter. Paperback preferred. Good condition only.

 

No book to donate? No problem!

 

View our Bookshop.org wishlist. Every purchase is sent straight to the Prison Library Project and helps us fill high-need requests.
