GOLDIBOX is the first fundraising initiative produced by Super Six For Kids. Gold boxes will appear in various businesses, community centres and stores at selected locations around Toronto for the next two weeks. Super Six For Kids will be asking for new or gently used books for children from birth to twelve years of age from the public to support our goal of 500 donated books to The Children`s Book Bank. For anyone who is able to donate large quantities of books, in-person pickup will be available. Please support this tremendous charity and help us achieve and exceed our goal.
About The Children`s Book Bank:
“The Children’s Book Bank collects gently used children’s books from families who have finished with them and from publishers and retailers who cannot use them and distributes them through a storefront book bank in the Regent Park area of Toronto.
A visit to The Children’s Book Bank is much like a visit to a favourite children’s bookstore, except that the books are free of charge. The Children’s Book Bank has a large inventory of beautiful books suitable for children from birth to age twelve. Families are welcome to visit as often as they wish and every person is permitted to take and keep one book per visit. The Children’s Book Bank is staffed by child literacy experts who assist the customers in selecting appropriate books and who provide advice and support on literacy issues. The Children’s Book Bank offers literacy support programs including its popular Stories for Students Program and its Books Beyond Berkeley Street Program.”
