Books4Cause runs book drives and book donation campaigns which help fund and support various initiatives locally, nationally, and around the world. Since we began arranging book donation drives in early 2006, we have raised thousands of dollars for our non-profit partners and salvaged tens of thousands of books that were headed for landfills. We are expanding our focus to support additional causes and continue to help those in need.

We reprocess donated books in several ways. Books with resale value are sold in online marketplaces. For every book we sell we send three books to Africa. We also run individualized book drives to support additional local organizations and student groups.

Most of our donated books are sent to Africa with the assistance of our non-profit partner Human Service Resources, Inc (HSRI). HSRI runs the Good Books for Africa program distributing books to children in classrooms and libraries in Ghana and elsewhere in Africa. To date HSRI has sent more than 300,000 books to Africa. Books that are not fit to be reprocessed are pulped and recycled.
