Books For Bedtime is now almost one year old! So far, we have received 501 c 3 public charity status. We have had many people and organizations who have donated their unwanted children's books! We always need more books, but now we are looking to grow our network of schools, charities, and churches who may like to partner with Books For Bedtime to RECEIVE books!
If you know a lower income (needy) school, or an outreach program at a church (food pantry, shelter, etc), whose families would benefit from receiving books, please let us know!
Books For Bedtime, with CEO Meagan, age 12, has so far distributed 3,000 books to children who need them. She has gone to schools, homeless shelters, and food pantries. Typically, she has a short speech and then she helps the children choose out a book that they would like to take home.
We are already filling in the calendar for August and September, so please email us at books4bedtime@yahoo.com or contact us through Volunteermatch.
Currently, we travel throughout Central Ohio, with hopes to expand to other cities in Ohio by Spring!
Thank you so much! You can also check out our Facebook page booksforbedtimenonprofit
