Milk + Bookies is a nationwide charitable organization that inspires children to give back, using books as its currency. Milk + Bookies teaches young children how great it feels to give back, while celebrating the love of a good book.
At Milk + Bookies events, boys and girls are provided the opportunity to select, purchase and inscribe books that are then donated to their peers who do not have access to books of their own. The fun-filled events feature music, story time and, of course, milk and cookies.
Please visit the Milk + Bookies website for great ideas! Check out the M+B CLASS PROJECT and the M+B BIRTHDAY PARTY . There are instructions and contact information on how you can host your own class project or party. What a GREAT, FUN way for kids to give back to other kids! I especially like the Birthday Party idea. As a parent, I remember the birthday parties - each one having to be bigger and better than the last. This idea is awesome... kids getting together to celebrate a birthday and learning about service and giving back!
Milk + Bookies combines two essential and worthwhile efforts: LITERACY PROMOTION AND SERVICE LEARNING. While the book donations are imperative to our mission, just as important is instilling the seed of giving into each host and their young guests, sparking feelings of importance, self-confidence and the desire to give and give again.
READ, GIVE, GROW.
