About BOOK DRIVE FOR KIDS

BOOK DRIVE FOR KIDS is a Lewisville, Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that collects and distributes new and gently used children's books to underserved children, Title I schools, foster youth, and teen parents throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area and select Texas regions. The organization's tax-exempt status and EIN (75-2822224) match IRS-derived nonprofit registries and public charity databases.

Programs include community book donation drives, free book fairs for prek and elementary students, the Soaring Summer Reading Program, and partnerships with school districts and community organizations to place books directly in students' hands. The group operates volunteer sorting and distribution activities from a local warehouse and organizes recurring signature fundraising events to support its programs.

In the last several years the organization has reported substantial activity and growth: since 2017 it reports donating over 200,000 books to more than 136,000 students at over 250 events, and recent annual fundraising events (Adult Spelling Bee) raised notable sums in 2025 and 2026 to expand service and book purchasing capacity. Book Drive for Kids maintains an active web presence and ongoing community partnerships and media collaborations to amplify literacy efforts.
