Help the Den Come Home for Claflin HomecomingAudre&rsquo;s Den is a nonprofit mobile bookstore and community wellness organization bridging literacy and healing across South Carolina, centering Black women&rsquo;s and queer voices. Since our founding in early 2026, the Den has traveled the state from our home base in Spartanburg, bringing books, conversation, and care directly to the communities that need them most. During our most recent trip to Columbia, the Den, our mobile bookstore trailer, sustained damage that has taken us off the road. Since then, every missed event has meant lost revenue we depend on to sustain our programming, repair the trailer, and restock our shelves. Now we have a reason to get back on the road. Our founder&rsquo;s sorority sisters of the Theta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. at Claflin University have invited Audre&rsquo;s Den to join them for Homecoming, and we have been given the blessing to raise funds to make it there. We want to roll onto that campus rebuilt, restocked, and ready to celebrate. Our goal is $2,700. Here is exactly what your gift makes possible: Rebuild the Den: $200 Two of our bookshelves had to be thrown away after the damage. We are rebuilding just as we built before.
