10th Annual United Way Book Drive – Help Kids Build a Brighter Future!

Join the 10th Annual United Way Book Drive – Help Kids Build a Brighter Future!

Reading by third grade is a game-changer. It’s the #1 predictor of a child’s future success in school and life. Before third grade, kids learn to read—after third grade, they read to learn. But 61% of families facing financial instability don’t have books at home, making it harder for children to build strong literacy skills.
That’s where you come in.

The Children’s Book Drive is a community-wide effort to put books into the hands of kids who need them most. Led by United Way of Treasure Valley in partnership with Book it Forward! Idaho, this initiative collects and distributes books to children across Idaho. From early learning centers and Title I schools to juvenile detention centers, we're getting books into the hands of children who need them.

Our goal: 25,000 books. With your help, we can get there!

​Donate new or gently used children’s books to help ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed. We encourage book donations in all languages! Drop off your books between March 1st through March 27th at any Treasure Valley Albertsons, CapEd or WaFd. Check our website for additional information on how you can make an impact!
