NCFL gladly accepts donated books for the use of its many families in various programs. An even better donation you can make, however, is to give your used books to Better World Books on behalf of NCFL. When those books are sold a portion of the proceeds will be given to NCFL so that we may continue to help parents and children in need. To find out more about this initiative, visit our Partners page or visit www.betterworldbooks.com.

NCFL will send an acknowledgement letter to thank you for your donation. If you donate online, the acknowledgment will arrive via email. If you donate through the mail, you will receive your acknowledgment via traditional post.
