Books-A-Million Spreads Joy With Over $2,000,000 Donated in 2022 Holiday Book & Toy Drive
Books-A-Million hosted its tenth annual Holiday Book & Toy Drive at stores across the country through mid-December. Over the past several weeks, customers took part in the “Grow Your Heart 3 Sizes” campaign when they purchased a new book or toy in store to donate for distribution to various local charities.
"It is because of the incredible Books-A-Million customers and associates that this event has been such a success for the past ten years," said Scott Kappler, Executive Vice President of Operations. "Their generosity allows the holidays to be brighter for thousands of families who need a little extra support during this special time of year.”
The annual Book & Toy Drive has become a highlight of the holiday season, allowing generous Books-A-Million customers to make a positive impact on the community in a way that's just as easy as it is rewarding. Each store chose a local charity for donation while each customer was able to hand pick a book or toy to donate. Through this exceptional partnership, both customers and employees can ensure their donation has personal meaning for them - and bring a warm and welcome surge of holiday joy to those who receive it.
To date Books-A-Million’s Holiday Book & Toy drive has donated over $14,000,000 worth of books and toys to kids and families. Among the charities across the nation that benefit from this campaign are The Boys and Girls Club, Toys for Tots, Children’s Advocacy Services Centers, Children’s Hospitals, and hundreds of other deserving organizations.
