Give Time

Books Between Kids would be nothing without the help of our volunteers. During the 2017-2018 school year, our fantastic volunteers spent over 5,180 hours to prepare more than 312,000 books for distribution to approximately 40,000 Houston children!

Volunteering at our warehouse can be a fun and rewarding experience. Projects vary based on needs but may include counting/inventorying donations, sorting books, boxing books, helping to stock the sorting tables, and cleaning the warehouse. Our volunteer shifts are 2 hours in length and are held at the Books Between Kids warehouse (view the map on our FAQs page). You can also view additional details about the warehouse volunteer shifts by viewing our Volunteer Details  or our FAQs page. To become a member of our volunteer community and to sign up for volunteer shifts, visit our page and create a profile on GivePulse.
