AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA)— Storybridge and WTAMU AmeriCorps are partnering together for the annual Dream & Donate Children’s Book Drive this Saturday.
This year, the annual book drive is increasing its donation goal from 15,000 books to 18,000 books.
Storybridge says chapter books for third, fourth and fifth graders are needed.
“The chapter books is probably are our greatest need right now. We actually ran out of our supply at the very end of 2024, so we’re looking especially for more of those chapter books,” said Chandra Perkins, executive director of Storybridge.
WTAMU AmeriCorps is volunteering to help fill the gap in providing books for all children in the Amarillo area.
“I know our members are super excited to interact with our people in our community. They joined AmeriCorps because they want to give back and they love doing that in a hands-on way, like these service day opportunities,” said Sophia Britto, program communication coordinator for WTAMU AmeriCorps.
The book drive will take place this Saturday at the United on Bell St. from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Donations for Spanish, toddler, chapter and picture books are needed.
