Chapter Children’s Book Donations:
Interfaith’s Children’s Book Program

Children’s books for Interfaith Social Services in Quincy: Interfaith is a longstanding, well-respected organization that provides a food pantry, counseling, and other services for South Shore residents.

Their food pantry aims to nourish the mind as well as the body. Just the mere presence of books in the home impacts children’s academic success, vocabulary development, and future job attainment. When available, each food pantry client receives a bag of age-appropriate books for their children on each visit. Whether board books for infants, picture books, or chapter books, they aim to get books into the homes of all their young clients.

We’d love your gently used children’s books for ages 0-12! Please, no books with torn covers or missing pages, or that have been colored in. If we get at least one book per DeMolay, we could help a large number of young children in Massachusetts.
