Book Drive for Kids is a local, grassroots 501(c)3 organization dedicated to getting books into the hearts and homes of needy children. We do this by hosting free book fairs with schools and other organizations that enroll a population that is at least 70% economically disadvantaged. We also work with foster & adoption groups and special education groups.
At these events, children are able to browse over 50 books and select one or more of their own. We demonstrate book ownership by affixing bookplates on the inside cover. Then they write their name on the chosen book(s). These books ignite curiosity as children explore topics that interest them. They build reading and comprehension skills but most of all, our desire is that these books inspire hope and send a message of love.
We are expanding! When we reach our goal of $7,500, we will unlock matching funds of $7,500 which will be used to purchase a much-needed vehicle to help deliver books to free book fair events and pick up donations.
