United Way needs your help at our annual Big Book Drop event! This event will see nearly 35,000 books distributed to children across our five-county region to help them build their at-home libraries and instill a life-long love of reading. Join us at Acrisure Stadium, in the Great Hall, for the event. Big Book Drop is made possible with support from Grant Thornton, the CentiMark Foundation, KPMG and the Birmingham Foundation.
Since the Big Book Drop started in 2019, United Way has distributed nearly 214,000 books to nonprofit organizations, schools and day cares focused on literacy through this event. With your help, we hope to bring that total to a quarter million books at this year's Big Book Drop!
Volunteers will help sort, categorize and organize our inventory of books. Tasks will require frequent bending and lifting and include sorting books by age groups and preparing book orders for distribution to United Way's partner agencies and school districts. Big Book Drop is one of United Way's most sought-after volunteer opportunities. To ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate, please sign up for only one shift. Thank you.
