Book Drive (Anytime, Holiday)

We believe that every child deserves the chance to own a book.  Recent startling research shows that while children in middle-income neighborhoods have an average of 13 books, only 1 book is available to every 300 children in low-income neighborhoods. CCRC committed to collecting and distributing 100,000 books to low income children in 2010 and we did it!  So far, we have collected 250,000 books and we are doing it again in 2012.  Join us! 

Book Drive Volunteer Opportunities

• Hold a book drive – challenge your co-workers, a neighbor or a group of friends to a book collection contest!  Help our community’s smallest citizens by sharing the joy of reading.
