How the Buggie is Funded

See Financials >
Meet Alex

Alex was SO very excited to pick out and take home a bag full of free books at his neighborhood event. His big smile says it all! When TFBB attends community events in under-resourced neighborhoods, it offers Alex and children like him equal access to age-appropriate books. By allowing children to choose their own books to have in their homes, it encourages them to read more often. These free home libraries create a gateway for a child's successful education and future life opportunities.
