OU can help brighten a child's life and boost literacy by contributing $3 toward the purchase of a new book. You can also give a gift on behalf of a friend or relative.

	Make your $3 donation at any Starbucks store.
	Sign the "bookplate" you'll receive from the barista and deposit it in the book-buy box at the register. Your bookplate will be placed on the inside cover of a new book for a deserving child.
	Pick up your keepsake bookmark and know that your gift has improved a child's life!

Make a donation at your neighborhood Starbucks — use this handy Store Finder to find the store closest to you. If there's not a Starbucks in your area, please call 1-800-STARBUC to make a donation over the phone.
