To ensure that certain books aren’t purchased substantially more than others, Gracepoint has created an online wish list at www.tinyurl.com/gracepointbooksnbags.

Blick Law Firm will also provide a way for those unable to purchase a reading book beforehand to do so at the event, by computer.

"We are a Christian firm so we really think it's important to give back to those less fortunate than us, especially around the holidays," said Michael Blickensderfer, owner of Blick Law Firm.

The event will be at 4351 Gunn Highway in Tampa and it will be from noon to 4 p.m. For any questions about the event follow Blick Law Firm on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/blicklawfirm or call 813-931-0840.
