Books for Boots is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides new and gently used books, movies, music cd's, puzzles, and craft items to injured recruits in our country’s military basic training installations.
As of March 27, 2024, we have shipped out over 2,218 books, 1,065 movies, 202 CD's, and 70 puzzles to injured recruits. We currently have over 700 books and 200 movies cleaned, sorted, boxed, and ready to ship pending approvals.
A small donation of just $5 could provide shipping for at least six paperback books, three hardcover books, or 15 DVDs!
Consider a Box sponsorship for $40 each box. This covers shipping expenses for a box of books for injured recruits. The majority of boxes are 17” x 11” x 13” and can hold anywhere from 30 large hardback books to over 50 paperback books and weigh about 35-45lbs. If the actual cost of shipping is less than $40, the remaining portion would apply to costs for shipping other items, such as movies, CD’s, puzzles, or craft items.
