BookGive is proud to donate more than 8,000 books each month to our partner organizations, including senior centers, low income schools, hospitals, clinics, facilities for the incarcerated, food banks, laundromats, transitional housing facilities, and more. Since our founding in 2019, BookGive has donated more than 500,000 books to the community!
