For the book drive, each of Protocol’s 10 North American locations are collecting gently-used books through the end of March.

Additional “Year of the Children” initiatives for 2009 include volunteer partnerships with the Special Olympics, a summer school supply drive and a holiday season food and toy drive.

The outstanding results of previous initiatives demonstrate the generosity of Protocol employees and partners. Last September, Protocol associates, in partnership with the American Teleservices Association (ATA), donated nearly 500 pints of blood to the Red Cross. A Thanksgiving season food drive provided several hundred pounds of donated food to hungry families.
“Every year, I’m touched by the enthusiasm and generosity of our people in making these initiatives a success,” said Don Norsworthy, President and CEO. “We’re proud to give back to the 10 communities that are so vital to the success of Protocol and our people.”
