Mission

Our mission, as an all volunteer organization, is to provide 13,600 Title I preschool through sixth grade students in Salinas, the opportunity to choose three free books a year, books to take home, read, share with their family, and keep forever.

The Big Idea

We have only one project, to purchase books for our 13,600 Title I preschool through sixth grade students, so they have the opportunity to choose three, free books a year. As an all volunteer organization all money goes to buying books.

Each year my Title I kindergarten students look forward to selecting three new books for their home collections. They get excited to choose from the varied selections of beautiful children's books RIF offers three times a year.
