Today’s Pay It Forward Giveaway benefits Books for Keeps, an organization in Athens, Georgia that provides children and families with open, equal access to books in order to increase literacy and school readiness, as well as lay the foundation for a love of learning and joy in reading for children from ages 0-13+. Books for Keeps also runs a literacy mentorship program for children in grades 1-3. You can read about the excellent literacy programming at Books for Keeps here, and if you aren’t selected in today’s Pay It Forward knife giveaway, but still want to donate to Books for Keeps, go for it.

If you would like to participate in our Pay It Forward Giveaway, enter your information in the submission form below. If you are selected, you will have 24 hours to send us your shipping address, and we encourage you to make an undisclosed donation to Books for Keeps - any amount that fits your budget. Our Pay It Forward offerings are our attempt to get knives to our customers who may have more restricted budgets (but anyone may participate!) and also give back to our community. Thank you for helping us do this!
