At Goldbergs Fine Foods, we believe that good food brings people together—and so do great books. That’s why we’re proud to once again team up with Reach Out & Read Georgia for our Second Annual Summer Book Drive, running August 9 through September 6, 2025.
Timed to kick off on National Book Lovers Day and wrap up on National Read a Book Day, this initiative supports early childhood literacy across Georgia. Simply donate a new children’s book for ages infant to five years, and you’ll receive a free bagel with cream cheese as a thank-you for helping us give back.
Donate a book. Get a bagel. Make a difference.
Why This Matters
Early reading experiences help shape a child’s lifelong learning and development. Our partner, Reach Out & Read Georgia, works directly with pediatric care providers to provide families with the tools they need to foster a love of reading from birth.
“Reading is such a vital skill across ages, and we are delighted to help encourage and develop it for our youngest audiences,” said Bradley Saxe, Co-CEO of Goldbergs Group. “Reach Out & Read Georgia is a very special cause for Goldbergs, and we are proud to continue supporting their important work for our community.”
How to Donate
- Bring a new book appropriate for children ages 0–5
- Drop it off at any Metro Atlanta Area Goldbergs Fine Foods location
- Receive a free bagel with cream cheese for your donation
- Offer valid August 9 through September 6, 2025
