Volunteering Option 3: Books for Smiles



Our simple yet extremely popular 'Book for Smiles' initiative achieves the following:
- Getting rid of your books and creating more space at home
- Sourcing new books at a reasonable amount
- Raising funds in a very neat, clean, simple way
- Forwarding proceeds of the book sales to the destitute

Toofles has hosted a Books for Smiles event almost everywhere - from a college campus to a cafe. Until now, Toofles has held more than 11 Book Exchanges, 5 being corporate, 1 in a residential building, 1 in a college, 1 in a cultural fair and 1 in a cafe.

To get involved as a volunteer, follow these steps:

Step 1) Contact Toofles if there are lots of books that you want to give away. Spread awareness about the program amongst your friends and networks. There are always shelves we need to clear from time to time !

Step 2) Spearhead a Books for Smiles program at your residential or workplace by simply informing everyone and sending out promotional material from Toofles.

Step 3) Arrange logisitc of the sale, which entails getting tables, arranging Toofles standees and managing stock and cash counters. Spread awareness of Toofles' other initiatives during the book sale.
