Thank you for this! I have always given to Pajama Program and I donate my books (I'm a children's book reviewer, I get a LOT of books) to a San Francisco charity, but I wanted to see if there was another group I should also support with my end of year donations. Room to Read sounds amazing and I'm thrilled to be able to add them to my list of charities. Thank you.

My organization has an event where we give Christmas Gifts and Resources to the underserved community. Part of our event this year, we will do an interactive storytime with the children that attend. I was looking for an organization in Indianapolis that has books to donate. We would love to give the gift of literacy to each student who attends by giving them a free book after storytime. Our event is Friday, Dec. 1, 2023

Up With Books in Massachusetts gives new books to children living in low-income households. They have a summer reading program that provides each child with a backpack filled with books to keep them reading through the summer months. http://www.upwithbooks.org

If anyone knows of an org that donates books for pre-school age kids please pass it along. I'm part of a project called Head Start to Literacy Initiative. We create "Lending Libraries" for local Head Start sites because far too many students from underserved communities enter school behind their peers. Kindergarten readiness is an overlooked part of the academic journey. Email - hs2literacy@gmail.com Website - https://ishankins.org/headstart/
