Tomorrow, January 15, 2025, Island Books in Mercer Island, WA will donate 25% of all their sales, including online sales from 9 am to 7 pm, to World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit that is providing fresh meals and clean water to people impacted by the California fires.
You can also support bookstores and comic book stores that have been damaged, destroyed, or closed because of the fires as well as all the booksellers who have been displaced or mentally or physically impacted by the fires by donating to Binc, the Book Industry Charitable Foundation. Binc provides grants to booksellers and offers free mental health support. Matching funds supplied by author Dav Pilkey, Forefront Books, Ingram Content Group, Macmillan Publishers, and Mad Cave Studios will double up to $45,000 in donations.
