As a mom, it’s impossible to wrap my head around the fact that there are 400,000+ kids in America’s foster care system. These children are often removed suddenly from dangerous situations with nothing but the clothes they’re wearing. As economic and pandemic-related stressors exacerbate domestic volatility, sadly more children – scared and alone – are added every day.
As a book lady, I’m reaching out with a simple - but special - way we can make a difference together!
I’m proud to be joining forces with other book ladies across the
country in a book drive supporting the My Stuff Bags Foundation. This
wonderful organization provides love, kindness, and humanity for
children in emergency foster care and crisis centers across the
country by gifting them duffel bags filled with new clothing,
toiletries, books, toys, blankets and more.
Our team book drive aims to fill these special “belonging bags”
with Cuddle Bear books and plushies for littles, and emotional support
workbooks for older kids and teens trying to work through their
feelings. There is no donation too small, and Usborne Books & More
matches every dollar 50%, truly maximizing our impact.
For these children who literally have nothing and no one, we can provide something for someone: a sliver of light in the darkness. Please, will you join us in making a difference?
