The
first books given to a child can be a life-changing experience.
Raised amid difficulties and needs, sometimes with streets as their daily world,
many children have only a dead-end in front of them. Books placed in
their hands open windows to other worlds where more things are
possible.... where they can grow to have a better life. And where
they can contribute to a better level of life for the whole community.
Books For Kids give
children those windows, and a better chance in life. The many
organizations you see here are in all parts of America, and in all parts
of the world.... wherever there are children, and wherever there are people
who care about those children. They are the makers of small miracles, and you can
share in that experience.
These
people are at Page Ahead in Seattle, at Book 'Em in Tennessee, at First
Book in Washington DC, at ADIFLOR in Paris, and
Book Aid in London.
In
addition to supporting these other programs at the local, national and
international level, the Books For Kids Program provides books directly to
schools in the Los Angeles area.
You can
be one of the people creating
this profound change in children's lives:
-
Make people
aware this work is going on. Put a link on your website to the
Books For Kids Program -- whether you have a business site or a
personal one -- to introduce people to these wonderful organizations
and the heart-touching work they are doing. Getting other people
involved not only shows you care for these children, it also helps
multiply the support for these hard-working community groups.

The
most valuable contribution you can make is your time and effort to
help a local books-for-kids organization in your area. If there
isn't one yet, you are encouraged to start one. This is best
done by affiliating with a national books-for-kids group or by getting
a local organization (school, Kiwanis, religious group, etc) to
sponsor the effort. But the key ingredient is you. You are
the energy which makes this happen!
-
If
you are not able to contribute time, you can always donate financial
support....large or small. The only essential is that you do
something to make a positive difference for the children. We
urge that you do not make your full donation to us. Please give
90% to one of the good organizations listed on this website, and only
10% to us to help this program grow. The portion to Books For
Kids Program is tax deductible. Thank you.... you are helping to
make a difference for these children!
