NYBF needs your help!
The holidays are rapidly approaching, and New York City is feeling more festive every day. As many of us look forward to spending time with family and friends in the coming weeks, the New York City shelter system continues to provide temporary housing for over 30,000 children and their families experiencing homelessness.
Yes, 30,000.
The holidays can be an especially challenging time for these families, but books have always been able to foster imagination, offer comfort, and empower both children and adults to dream and to see beyond their current circumstances. We are reaching out to our community of readers, writers, publishers, and booklovers with a heartfelt request for donations of books.
Care for the Homeless is a New York City-based organization that provides health care for people experiencing homelessness and distributes donated books to parents and children receiving services in their health centers.
This holiday season we are looking for both adult and children’s books that we can donate to Care for the Homeless. While all books are welcome and needed, there is a specific need for books for Spanish speakers and children of color in both English and Spanish. Donations can be as few as 1-2 books or as many as 5-6 cartons and can either be dropped off or mailed to:
