Booksgiving
This holiday season, please join us on Saturday, November 16th, 2024 to help sort, sticker, and pack children’s books. We’ll celebrate Booksgiving with food, music, and activities for the whole family in addition to a meaningful volunteer shift. With your help, we can empower local children to explore new ideas, gain knowledge, and strengthen reading skills with books of their own.
Exclusive access to Booksgiving begins at the ‘Reader’ Level for $1,000. Choose the volunteer shift that works best for you: 9:30am – 11am or 1pm – 2:30pm.

You don't have to work in education to know that there are many factors in learning to be a successful reader, but none is as important as having actual access to personal books. Bernie's Book Bank comes walking right into the classrooms on a regular basis and makes the impossible possible for these children.
