Books N’ Brunch 2025

Thanks for your interest in Books ‘n Brunch.

This year, we’re focusing on books just for kids and young adults.

We have opportunities for everyone – of any age! – who wants to get involved: whether volunteering in person, donating your books, organizing a book collection in your community, purchasing books from our wishlist, or being an event sponsor, we need your help!

SEE BELOW FOR WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

VOLUNTEER IN-PERSON!

Our Annual Books ‘n Brunch sorting event will be on Sunday, September 28, from 11am-1pm. All ages are welcome. We will need many hands to sort through all the books!

It will include books on helping, giving, diversity, inclusion and anything else that makes our world a better place. Help us get started by purchasing one of our wishlist books. And by the way – if you have suggestions, let us know too!

We are accepting new books or gently-used books in good condition (let your conscience be your guide) for kids and young adults only.

Drop-off info:

You can drop off your books at our NEW OFFICE at 1741 N. Cherokee Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90028 anytime from 9am – 5pm Monday – Thursday and 9am-1pm on Friday, starting September 2 until September 26.

In addition to the books please include a piece of paper with the number of kids’ books and young adult books that you are donating. (Our goal: 5,000 books!)

HOST A COLLECTION!

Many people like to help by organizing a book collection. It’s fun, easy, and very gratifying. (You’ll be surprised by how many people have great books they’re looking to give to a good, new home!) Plus, it’s a huge help to us!

We have all kinds of tips on how to host a successful book collection. If you’re interested, great! Please contact Alondra@bigsunday.org and she’ll get you started. (And yes, people of any age can host a collection.)

BE AN EVENT SPONSOR!

Do you want to help sponsor this event? Fantastic!

Event sponsors help us get even more books into the hands of even more kids. Plus, it allows us to get even more people engaged in helping others. Sponsorships start at $1000 and can be bought by individuals, groups or corporations.  Many corporate sponsors like to send employees and their families, too, which we love.

If you’re interested, please contact berenice@bigsunday.org for more info or follow this link to become a sponsor!
