Enhancing literacy for boys & young men ...one book at a time!
(866) 944-1119
At Books 4 Buddies, we are proud to have received the following recognition for our contributions to the Toledo community.
"We will definitely like to continue to have Books 4 Buddies and the ambassadors come to our center. Our children as well as our families really benefit and are so thankful. Bringing language and literacy into their home is so important for our program. Our staff was so excited to see the community involvement with our Migrant Children and families. Yes, please do continue to provide our children with this experience."
-Martha, Millbury Center
"Thank you so much for the donation of books. Pilgrim has several ministries that will benefit including our Jamaica Orphanage mission. Our team this December will be taking down many of the books to the home. Many of the children at the orphanage do not attend any school because it is costly. We employ a woman there who tends to the children in many ways including educating those who do not go to school. The books and workbooks will definitely help change the life of a child. Educational workbooks are priceless for they have no means of copying worksheets like we do here in the United States. Books for Buddies is not only raising awareness in our community of the illiteracy problem in young boys but also changing the lives of these boys and turning them into educated young men. Your program is a wonderful addition to our community. Keep up the good work."

Testimonials for Books 4 Buddies
"Sincere thanks to you for donating the beautiful books to the children who attend the two Central City Ministry of Toledo schools, Rosary Cathedral and Queen of Apostles. As you know, we started a program last year to build our students “at home libraries.” Many of our students, perhaps even most of our students, are not encouraged to read at home, do not have books available at home. Consequently the children arrive at CCMT two years behind in their reading skills. It was decided that we could help improve this situation. Every time we have a special program or a child deserves an award they receive a book to take home that has been donated to the school. So far this year, we have been able to send home a FREE book after our “Picnic in the Parking Lot” parties and at Parent/Teacher conferences. And this was made possible by you and your Books 4 Buddies program."

'The Neighborhood Health Association can’t thank you enough! WOW…what a wonderful thing to see parents reading to their children in the waiting rooms while waiting to see the pediatrician. Thank you Books4Buddies! The children’s eyes just light up when they are told they can take the books home with them.'
