My boys and I put together a little book drive in our neighborhood. We decided to put the call to action out with our friends and neighbors and so many of them stepped up to the plate to help!
Here is the contribution from just one family on our street! This was well over 50 books!
In the end we donated 120 books including the new Nickelodeon Books that we picked up at Walmart that started this project off!

Teaching your kids about giving and sharing blessings with others is one of the best lessons you can give to your children.
This is fantastic! What a great collection. My MOPS group is currently doing something similar to this, and I hope we can do this well.
Wow just from one neighborhood! That's great!

Boy,we could sure donate some of our books. I'd love to do this in their school for other schools.
That is incredible. What a great way to involve your kids in thinking about others. Great job!
What a fabulous cause! We always give a donation to First Books instead of a Christmas gift for our parents…they're all former educators and appreciate that much more than more stuff.
Great donation to a great cause. I love that you got your boys involved in this. The kids will be so appreciative and your boys learned a invaluable lesson.
We will be moving soon. I think this would be a great idea to start in a new neighborhood! And it would give us an opportunity to meet our new neighbor's too! Jennifer R.
What a great idea! I just might have to do something like this with my kids in my neighborhood!
Reading Is So Important, Champions For Kids Is A Wonderful Organization !
This is an amazing idea! I just might have to get my kids involved in a project like this once we're settled into the new school year. We have a public library that could always use new books as well as a Catholic school that struggles to stay open each year, let alone buy books for the classroom. Thanks for the information!
I had no idea that 61% of low-income families have no books for children in their homes, and more than 80% of the preschool and after-school programs serving at-risk children have no books at all. This is alarming! I couldn't imagine growing up without books. It is so great what you and your boys did. Thank you!

What an awesome idea. Books are the one thing I buy my girls every time they ask. I'm a sucker for a good book.
Good stuff Chrissy!
How awesome!!! I bet we could totally do that in our neighborhood and get a lot of books! Great job!!
This looks like a an awesome idea. I feel like the kids really understand the help they are giving to others.
Chrissy, this looks like a great way to get our kids involved in a meaningful way to help others. I'm going to look into where we can donate books in our community. Thanks for the encouragement to get involved and help others!
