Book Baskets
Book Baskets, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was established in 1995 with the goal of encouraging reading through book ownership. For over 20 years we have been deeply committed to giving new or lightly used books to those children in our area who might not otherwise have books of their own. We currently serve over 30 local social service agencies or education programs. On average, we place over 20,000 books per year into the appreciative hands of children from the Charlottesville and Albemarle County area. A small bookplate is placed in the front of each book, allowing the recipient to identify the gift book as his or her own.

Book Baskets Book Baskets Books for children to call their own Mission Book Baskets is committed to giving new and lightly used books to those children in our area who might not otherwise have books of their own. We believe that one way to instill a love of books and to encourage reading is to ensure that all children have books that belong to them in their own library. Our books are distributed to children at various school programs and social service agencies in Central Virginia. In 2023 we donated over 22000 books.

I work in a nonprofit and listing our organization on Eduo.org helped us reach new audiences and even new volunteers. It’s easy to use and feels built with love.
