wwWhen family friend Benjamin Andrew died unexpectedly, Sarah responded to her grief by volunteering with a food van serving meals to homeless people in Sydney’s CBD.
One evening, Sarah noticed a man sitting under a streetlight reading a novel while waiting for the food van. She started bringing him a few books and it was from this humble beginning that the original The Benjamin Andrew Footpath Library grew.
The Footpath Library collects books and gives them to those who don’t have access to good quality reading material.
Today The Footpath Library is supported by its Board of Directors, Ambassadors and small group of volunteers. To see our vision click here
Who was Benjamin Andrew?
Benjamin Andrew was one of Sarah’s close friend’s. Sarah originally named The Footpath Library after him because books and writing were his passion and she wanted to commemorate a young man with a great future whose life ended too early.
