REFORMA Children in Crisis – Est. 2014

Founded in 2014, The REFORMA Children in Crisis project has been addressing the needs of asylum-seeking children arriving at our borders. Over the years, they have worked with shelters, charities, and many other grassroots organizations to collect and bring Spanish and bilingual Spanish/English books for children and their families arriving at the borders. As more and more little ones arrive with their families, the need for more books is constant and urgent. Help us spread the word about this initiative and learn how you can support their efforts to share the wonder of stories and literacy with arriving children because libraries have no borders.

Making a donation is easy! Visit their donation page to learn about the many ways you can help from anywhere. On that page, you can make monetary donations that are used to select, purchase, and ship books to recently arrived unaccompanied refugee children. Also, If you wish to donate Spanish or Spanish/English children and teen books in new or gently used condition please send an email to the project’s Task Force at cic@reforma.org.
