Just in time for National Reading Month, a truckload full of 20+ pallets with more than 18,000 books arrived to the warehouse – enough to fill a bookshelf longer than a football field!

A Gift for Teaching was selected to receive a generous grant of new children’s books from The Molina Foundation, covering a range of grades and age levels, to promote literacy. The Molina Foundation Book Buddies 2025 program supports nonprofits, service agencies, libraries and other community organizations across the nation. Their goal is to provide free books and other educational resources to help children, parents, and caregivers create word-filled homes through reading and learning together.

And together we can.

With this incredible donation, local students now have the opportunity to turn the page, again and again, toward a brighter future! The impact of these books will go far beyond the shelves — they will open doors to imagination, knowledge, and endless possibilities.

See how donations like these are making a difference and why access to reading books is so vital for students in our community.
