Have you seen the list?!? Already 50 organizations, schools, businesses, neighborhoods, clubs, and teams have signed up to run book drives for Dream Big…and we’re still 10 days away from the big day! Running a book drive is a great way for groups to serve together — in your own space, on your own time — and delivering your books to Dream Big is a really fun way to wrap up your project! (A bit of advice: when you make your plans to bring your books to Dream Big, plan to bring your whole group and stay a while — you don’t want to miss out on all the fun we have planned!)
Here are five easy steps to a successful book drive!
