Featured Promotion - Help Feed the Hungry in Your Community

Why it's important:

Even prior to the coronavirus, more than 35 million people in the US struggled with hunger in 2019
Due to the effects of the pandemic, it's estimated that as many as 50 million people in the US may be food insecure now, including 17 million children
Many households experiencing food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs and need to rely on their local food banks and other hunger relief organizations
Local food banks and social service organizations have experienced significant upticks in the number of people requesting help -- they need your support!

What you can do:

Find a local food bank near you in the US, and make a donation! Canadian friends, check here!
Here in Philadelphia, we support PhilAbundance -- and have committed to increasing our support in face of the current need
Support organizations like Feeding America, which provides a network for coordinating local food banks and pantries, Food Banks - Canada which coordinates hunger relief efforts in Canada, and World Central Kitchen which does grassroots cooking for communities in need, including those affected by natural disasters like hurricanes, fires, and flooding

A Notice to Our Canadian Customers --

We're pleased to announce that we are now providing prepaid Canadian Duties and Taxes on First Class Mail International (FCMI) packages. All taxes are covered, including duties and value added taxes (VAT). FCMI shipping is only available on orders weighing 3.85 lbs. or less (4 lbs. including packaging).
Orders over 3.85 lbs. must be sent Priority International and this offer does not apply.

COVID-19 Update from Parlew Distribution: Book stock from all publishers we work with is held in a controlled environment, accessible only to a limited number of people. We are fulfilling all orders as usual, with the exception that there will be fewer trips made to the post office each week. This may cause a minor delay in our usually prompt service (most orders have been mailed within 1-2 business days).
There have also been delays experienced in mailing times for the U.S. Postal Service, which are beyond our control.
Thank you for your business, and for your patience as we continue to provide high-quality service while also keeping our workers safe!
