Help Build


Help Freddie build his bookshelf! ‘Freddie’s Bookshelf” is a children’s literature initiative which gives books to communities within book deserts. A book desert is a geographic area where books and other reading materials are hard to obtain without access to transportation. It is Freddie & Friends mission to provide students with access to reading and other learning materials within the Buffalo, NY area. All books are donated to families, schools & local city missions in the BNY area.
