This Summer, you have the chance to make a powerful impact—one page at a time. We are partnering with Child Development Resources (CDR) to launch the Spread The Words: Summer Book Drive, and we’re inviting every Baylands member and members of the community to be part of something meaningful.
Books are more than just stories. They are building blocks for learning, imagination, and emotional growth. For the children served by CDR—many of whom are in critical stages of early development—books can be life-changing. From building vocabulary to nurturing bonding moments between caregivers and children, access to books sets the foundation for lifelong success.
Unfortunately, not every child has books at home. That’s where you come in. When you visit your local BFCU branch and donate new or gently used children’s books, you directly support CDR’s mission to ensure all children, regardless of background, have the tools they need to thrive. Every book you give is a gift of opportunity, confidence, and hope.
Suggested Books to Donate
• Board books for infants and toddlers (NEW books please)
• Books with simple pictures and words
• Infant books with a mirror
• Infant books black on white
• Bilingual board books with real pictures
Together, we can help children start school ready to learn and ready to succeed. Join the Spread The Words Summer Book Drive today—because every child deserves the chance to turn the page to a brighter future.
