When you’re low income, prioritizing spending is a must. And for many people living in the Treasure Valley, books don’t make the list of things families need to get by. Providing a wealth of books to children in low-income homes can help break the link between poverty and poor academic outcomes. Join us and make a difference today.
How Can I Help Give Books to Low-Income Kids?
June 6th – June 17th: United Way Children’s Book Drive
Collect new and gently used children’s books the week of June 6th-17th. It’s easy and we have all the materials you need! Just put out a big box at your workplace, school, church or other places where community members gather, attach a book collection sign to the box, hang a few posters and watch the books roll in!
