Our Goal: 20 children’s books in every North Texas home—no matter the ZIP code.
Over 70% of the children we serve have fewer than 10 books at home. For many, the book they pick at a Book Drive for Kids free book fair is the very first book they can call their own.
As a local, grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we get books directly into the hearts and homes of children who need them most by:
Hosting free book fairs where every child chooses a book to take home forever.
Equipping teachers with free books for their classrooms and reading events.
Partnering with community programs like Back to School events, holiday drives, and summer reading promotions.
Every dollar makes an immediate difference:
$5 puts a new book into a child's hands.
$75 fills an entire classroom with books.
$2,500 sponsors a free book fair for an entire elementary school.
Donate: Make a financial gift today to put books directly into children's homes.

Volunteer: Help us organize, sort, and distribute books at our events.

Book Drive for Kids is on a mission to create a culture of literacy by providing books to disadvantaged children for independent (fun) reading.
Volunteers for free book fair events; volunteers to pick up and sort donations; monthly giving donors; sponsors for free book fairs and/or annual fundraiser, an Adult Spelling Bee held each March. Volunteers to organize book donation drives at their places of employment, in civic groups, and/or in their neighorhood.
We believe every child regardless of their race, economic status, gender, or age deserves to have a home full of books because the number of books in the home is a key indicator to academic success. Our mission is to provide books to disadvantaged children so they can achieve and compete with other children who already have the means to have a home filled with books.
