Start a bright smiles project chapter in your community

The Bright Smiles Project makes it easy for anyone to create real change—and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you gather a team through your school or form a group within your neighborhood, starting a chapter is a powerful way to unite people who care about supporting children in need.

Chapters work together to collect, sort, and redistribute gently used books and toys, ensuring that every child—regardless of their background—has access to resources that inspire imagination, build literacy, and encourage emotional growth. Your team can host donation drives, partner with local organizations, and deliver items directly to families and community centers.

Not only does this project make a meaningful difference, but it also offers volunteers the opportunity to earn service hours while contributing to something truly impactful. Every hour spent helping is an hour spent brightening a child’s future.

Starting a Bright Smiles Project chapter means taking the lead in spreading kindness, opportunity, and joy. With a team by your side—school-affiliated or community-based—you can help create lasting change, one book, one toy, and one smile at a time.
