As part of the CCS National Month of Service, our Children’s New and Gently Used Book Drive will help support literacy across all the Christ Child Society of Milwaukee programs. New Books will be used to support the Day of Reading at Blessed Savior School South, our Second Saturday program, Toddler My Stuff Bags, and Layettes. Gently Used Books will be collected and distributed to underserved parochial schools, families at Second Saturday, our shelter libraries and other nonprofits serving children in need.

  1. Donate a New Book through our CCS Book Drive Amazon Wish List
  2. Donate Gently Used Children’s Books to one of our collection sites
