What We Do
Bellingham Books To Prisoners is an all-volunteer, Washington State non-profit group that sends free books to prisoners throughout the U.S. We are an affiliate of the Seattle Books To Prisoners (www.bookstoprisoners.net). Letters from prisoners are sent to Seattle, then forwarded to us. We are responsible for getting donated books, finding volunteers, and raising money for postage and supplies. Last year, Seattle BTP, along with chapters in Portland, Olympia, and Bellingham answered a combined 14,900 letters. BellinghamBTP sent out over 10,000 books.
To get a sense of the importance of every package, and how we touch the lives of so many people around the country, watch this short video. We need your time and donations to answer letters like these and pay the postage to send books out to those who simply want something positive to look forward to.
Our volunteers include a wide variety of our community: college and high school students, business people, retirees, families, new arrivals and life-long residents.
