Schools In Need of Books

At Ties That Make A Difference, we believe every child deserves access to books that reflect their culture, heritage, and potential. Through The Literacy With Love Campaign, we work to ensure that children, especially Black and Brown children, across schools, communities, and beyond—receive empowering stories that inspire confidence, curiosity, and compassion.

Our campaign partners with a wide range of organizations and spaces that serve children and families. Below are the need categories where books from the campaign will be distributed.
