Pregnancy Help Center hasn't added a story.
Hello everyone! My name is Katie Hendricks, and I am so excited to be combining two of the organizations I love most, Pregnancy Help Center and Usborne Books & More.
First, let me tell you a little about myself. My husband and I live in Lake Jackson with our two precious kids. I have loved books my entire life and since having children I have seen the importance of fostering a love of reading and learning in children from a very early age. This passion was further ignited when I joined Usborne Books & More in May of 2016. In addition, I began volunteering at Pregnancy Help Center as soon as we moved to Lake Jackson, and have been a Client Advocate for a little over 4 years and do a lot of their social media as well.
Recently, God has really impressed upon me the deep desire to impact literacy in our community so when Jackie mentioned doing an event with PHC, I was thrilled! I truly believe that these are the best, most engaging, while still educational books available and I can't wait to share them with you and get them in the hands of our clients.
So where are the books going? One of the amazing classes we offer at PHC is called Read to Me. In the class, parents learn the importance of reading to their children starting at an early age (even before the baby is born!) and how it helps set their children up for success in life as a whole. When they complete the Read to Me Program, families are given 10-15 books to start or supplement their family's library.
How can YOU help?
- Sponsor a family for $100. Because of the 50% matching program Usborne Books & More offers, your donation will actually buy $150 in books and will completely cover one family's books earned by completing Read to Me.
- Purchase one of the pre-selected bundles below (again, the value
of these will be matched with 50% of FREE books for PHC). To
purchase, please make a donation through this page of the
amount(s) below. These will be combined into one bulk order for
PHC and can include a "Donated by" sticker, if you
prefer. Links are just for your reference and in case you would
like to purchase one of the books for a little reader in your
life.
- Baby Playtime Bundle ($22)
Contains: Fold-out Books: Animals, Happy Puppy, and $11 in additional FREE books to PHC - Bedtime Bundle ($36)
Contains: B is for Bedtime, How to Tuck in Your Sleepy Lion, Hush-a-Bye Owl, and $18 in FREE books for PHC. - Baby's Very First Bundle ($49)

- Baby Playtime Bundle ($22)
- Choose a book or two or more from Pregnancy Help Center's wish list. To purchase, please donate through this site and note which book(s) you would like to donate. This will include them on the bulk order, which will reduce fees and help your donation have an even bigger impact. 50% of these donations will be matched as well.
- In addition, your own personal purchases made through this link will also contribute to Read to Me through the 50% matching program. For example, if you spend $40 in books for your readers, PHC will receive $20 in free books! Christmas will be here before we know it (eek!!) and birthdays come year round. Books make the perfect gift and this will also benefit a wonderful organization and impact literacy in our community. If you'd like assistance selecting the perfect books for the readers in your life, please don't hesitate to reach out.
- Finally, and certainly not least, share this page and encourage friends and family to join us as we impact literacy in our clients' lives, Brazoria County, and beyond.
I'm very excited about this book drive! This event has already been shared all over social media so the demand for this class is going to go up too (which is awesome!!!). As a result, we want to make sure that PHC has the books they need to set these children and families on the path to having a great library and a love of reading! Thank you!
