  • Give your books

    The VCBF works to make sure every child has books of their own. Each year we give away tens of thousands of free books. Holiday parades, juvenile detention centers, foster care programs, special events-we are always there, making sure every child has access to books.

  • Create a legacy

    By including the VCBF in your legacy planning, you help ensure our long-term sustainability. Our work fostering lifelong readers is long-term and cross-generational. Your legacy gift is essential to creating not just one generation of readers, but many more to come.
