Books for Children Book Drive 
October 1 - 31, 2024

The foundation for a child’s communication skills develops in their first six years of life - before they even go to Kindergarten.

Parents reading with their children is a key part of developing that foundation, and we provide FREE books to our participants to encourage families to read together!

Donate gently used or new children’s books today and support child development and family connection.
