Here are the ways to donate:
- Donate new or pre-loved books. All books are welcome, especially storybooks, educational books, and hobby books that can help spark a child’s curiosity, imagination, and knowledge. You can also share pre-loved books that are clean and in good condition.
- Donate and match with Learning Is Fun (LIF) books. Donate LIF books available at The SM Store and the company will donate the same number of books sold during the program period. LIF offers a wide range of books from toddlers to adult categories such as activity books, early learning educational books, cookbooks, reference books, storybooks, Inspirational books, and game and toy books, among others.
- School supplies are welcome. You can also donate notebook packs of 6 and school sets that include a backpack, notebooks, rulers, and pens from The SM Store Stationery Department.
Your donations will go a long way. Books and learning materials collected will be distributed to partner public schools around the country.
The Donate A Book campaign started in 2015 and has collected and distributed almost 800,000 books and learning materials through the generosity of The SM Store customers.
