Goodwill's
BookWorks Program
www.goodwill-suncoast.org

Goodwill's BookWorks program is a unique melding of Goodwill volunteers and donated books. Goodwill volunteers read to preschool children at Head Start centers and other locations and then present each child with a personalized book of their own to take home. The program's goal is to encourage childhood literacy to better prepare children from low-income households to achieve their full potential in tomorrow's workforce.
