Milk and BookiesThis is not your usual charity. Milk and Bookies’ goal is to provide two things, literacy promotion and service learning. You don’t just drop off books at a place, rather, they’ve created various portals to donate books…listen and find out about this incredible idea that gets books into the hands of kids who need them most and give children an interactive lesson in giving.
