Rising utilities costs can be what pushes a bookseller or comic retailer's finances over the edge, and if they have their utilities shut off, they'll incur increased costs in reconnection fees to get them back.
Our program managers are already receiving calls from booksellers who are going without heat.
Even if a book or comic store employee lives in a place that restricts shut offs in the winter, such programs haven't reached the start date yet and many will not qualify.
But you can be there to ensure they don't face the freezing temperatures alone and without heat. Giving right now ensures that Penguin Random House will make your gift go twice as far.
