How to Donate Books to Soldiers and Veterans

Soldiers are the men and women who have made our country what it is today. Oftentimes they are overseas and away from their homes, in hospitals or veterans homes. They do without so many necessities so we can enjoy our freedom. If you want to give back here is your opportunity.

1. 

   There are 2 ways to help the soldiers and veterans. The first is to become a volunteer shipper. A volunteer shipper collects books from family, friends or buys them him/herself and ships them to an address which is provided to you. These books need to be in very good or better condition and not just old stuff that was lying around, these soldiers deserve better. The books collected and shipped are paperback only.

2. 

   The second way to help is through a donation. The donations are used to purchase books for soldiers and veterans and sent both overseas, here in the United States and Military Hospitals.
