FREE Books for Kids 0-18 Every Friday from July 21 – August 25
Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina, Inc. (Triad Goodwill) is excited to announce the launch of Free Book Friday! School is out, and Triad Goodwill is here to help your kids find their new favorite book this summer! Beginning Friday, July 21 children ages 0-18 (a.k.a. Triad Goodwill Bookworms!) can select one free book from their favorite Triad Goodwill store each Friday. The initiative will run from July 21 until Friday, August 25.
“We’re really excited to offer this new program to children in our community- we’ve never done anything like this,” explains Celeste MacMurdo, executive vice president of operations for Triad Goodwill. “Parents and caregivers are always looking for new things to keep their kids entertained in the summer, so we’re hoping they can find a new book, enjoy it, and donate it back to us for someone else to discover.”
Each Friday between July 21 and August 25 children ages 0-18 can simply pick out an age-appropriate book at their favorite Triad Goodwill, bring it to the register to receive a receipt (no additional purchases are necessary), and enjoy! Children must be present to receive a free book, and are limited to one book per child, once a day.
Our community is encouraged to continue donating their gently used books to help grow and replenish our book selection throughout the summer.
Triad Goodwill’s mission of improving lives and enriching communities through the power of work is possible thanks to the organization’s donors and shoppers. 85 cents of every dollar spent in their stores or online at Shopgoodwill.com/Greensboro goes back to the organization’s Career Development Services (CDS) programs. These programs include, Careers on the Outside, CDL Training, HVAC/R Certifications, and no-cost online and in-person workshops.
