    Description

    Be a Book Buddy for a Child in Need

    Help spread the love of reading to a child in need! Once a quarter, Book Buddies will receive the name, age and book suggestion/s for a child in foster care. Buddies then can mail a book to our foster care office, and the book will be given to the assigned foster child. Occasionally, you might be asked to send a second child a book. It's perfectly fine to decline this request or accept it.

    Online ordering is preferred. You may send a note to the child with the book that says something like " my kids enjoyed this book, I hope you enjoy it too."

    We hope you join our growing program that exposes kids to the wonderful world of reading.
