📚 Correctional Facilities: We have books for you!

SOS has 23 paperback copies of The Fault in Our Stars that we’d love to donate to a correctional facility for a book club or facilitated discussion group.

Interested? Send us a message or tag a facility that could put them to good use.

📚 Book matchmaking at its finest.

Not every donated book is correctional facility approved. Most facilities won’t accept hardcover books, books with stickers, or books with stained pages.

Instead of letting those books go to waste, we send them to our friends at Ramsey County Library Friends. In return, they send us paperback books that are correctional facility approved!

Everybody wins. More books get read. Fewer books get tossed.

Now that’s our kind of plot twist. ❤️📚

📬 We have an odd donation request…

If you’re anything like us, you probably have a stack of postcards from vacations that you swore you’d mail…and never did. Or maybe you’re cleaning out Grandma’s stationery collection and wondering what to do with it.

We’ll take them!

At SOS, we’re always looking for ways to stretch every donation a little farther. We’d much rather spend our money on parenting workbooks, books, and programming materials than on thank-you cards.

So instead, we’re hoping to turn your forgotten postcards into heartfelt thank-yous for the amazing people who support our mission.

We’re collecting:
📮 Unused postcards (from anywhere!)
📬 Forever stamps (or any unused postage stamps)

Please don’t go buy anything. This is one of those “if you already have some lying around” requests. We’d love to give them a second life instead of letting them collect dust.

Every postcard and every stamp means a little more of our budget goes where we think it belongs—supporting correctional programming and the people working to change their lives.

If you have a few you’d be willing to part with, send us a message!

❤️ Thanks for helping us make every dollar go a little farther.

Stopped by Wisconsin Books to Prisoners to drop off some donated books and learn more about what they’re doing. They’re always looking for good-condition paperback books to send directly to people inside.

Had a chance to talk through some ideas and potential ways to work together down the road!

If you’ve got paperbacks you’re not using, this is a solid place to send them.

📚 Second Chance Book Drive 💛

Spring cleaning your shelves? That paperback self-help book that helped you through a hard season might be exactly what helps someone else begin a new chapter.

For April, Sort of Solutions is collecting gently used paperback self-help books in good condition.

We’re especially looking for books focused on:
✨ healing
✨ habits
✨ parenting
✨ grief
✨ mindset
✨ emotional regulation
✨ leadership
✨ personal growth

Not sure what to donate? We created an Amazon wishlist with examples of the kinds of books we’re looking for ⬇️

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2V4D0GIW08FDR?ref_=wl_share

Amazon is great for ideas, but we would absolutely love gently used books from your own shelves too.

🎁 Every donated book = entry into our fun prize drawing, because doing good should come with a little joy.

Please share with your book-loving friends, teachers, therapists, and anyone doing a little spring decluttering. One book can make a bigger difference than you think. 💛
