UBAM Book Drive for Foster Children in NEFL

Donation protected
UPDATE:  Thank you so much to everyone who donated and helped us reach our goal!  We will be ordering books today and posting updates when they arrive to the non-profits.  Many blessings to you all!!


Foster children often come into care with little to no belongings, and rarely with books of their own. The Cann Family would like to raise $2,000 to provide new, quality books for the Foster Closet Corporation, LLC and Family Support Services of Northeast Florida.  Your donation will help increase book ownership and literacy amongst Duval County's children in foster care.


Usborne Books and More will match 50% of all funds donated over $250, so your donation will go even further! Meeting our goal of $2,000 in donations will provide $3,000 worth of books to foster children in Duval County.
