Many wonderful organizations were nominated, and five made the final cut. We reached out to all of the finalists, inviting them to mobilize their communities to support them in the vote, and by the time voting closed on December 5th, Housing Works had received the most votes. The Book Riot reader who first nominated Housing Works said, “…aside from having a crushworthy Tumblr- the work of the bookstore supports Housing Works in their efforts to both the homeless and AIDS crisis including providing employment and needed services.” We think Housing Works is pretty crushworthy too, and we bet you’ll feel the same when you learn more about them.
