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 May 15th, 2024, we have shipped out over 2,382 books, 1,278 movies, 292 CD's, and 117 puzzles to injured recruits. We currently have over 2,168 books, 300+ movies, 150+ CD's cleaned, sorted, boxed, and ready to ship pending approvals and financial donations for shipping costs.
Items that we can't use are donated to various organizations in our community. We've been able to provide:
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 35-55lbs. 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.
