Goodwill Industries

Since 1999, Goodwill’s BookWorks program has put books into the hands and homes of children who otherwise may not have them. Dedicated volunteers read to children at Head Start centers and other locations and present each child with a personalized book to take home. BookWorks also helps get books to elementary-aged students at schools in need. 

BookWorks serves 20,000 children annually - that's A LOT of books! 

And we need your help! Studies show that reading is critical in early childhood development and many children do not thave the luxury of having books in the home. The ultimate goal of BookWorks is to promote literacy, help children succeed in tomorrow’s workforce, and thus support our mission of helping people achieve their full potential through the dignity and power of work.

We've negotiated rock-bottom pricing with booksellers - just $1 can buy one BRAND NEW book! 

Goodwill also accepts gently used books at any Goodwill donation location, just mark your bag/box with "For BookWorks" and we'll take care of the rest!
