Book Train Collaborative Project

The Book Train is a collaborative effort that promotes literacy and a love of reading by providing new and gently used books to children, regardless of economic, geographic, or social barriers.

Mitzvah Circle mission is to fill resource gaps, to provide items not covered by government assistance.  After learning what families need to move ahead, Mitzvah Circle Foundation delivers and distributes  new and gently used books, clothing, shoes, diapers, period supplies, household goods, toiletries and more.

The way it works!

In 2024–2025, the Book Train Collaborative delivered 5,400+ books to children, spreading the joy of reading.”.

• The Jenkintown Kiwanis Club, together with Abington, Cheltenham, and Wissahickon High School Key Clubs and the Abington Junior High Builders Club, partnered with schools and community groups to gather books through collection drives and book fairs.

• Mitzvah Circle Foundation delivers boxes of books to families, carefully selecting titles based on each child’s age and reading level, while fostering an appreciation and love of reading
