About

Its the season for a reason! Williams Sonoma's "Local Community Action Team," is at it again! On behalf of the, "Buis Book Foundation," LCAT is looking to make this Holiday season brighter than ever before for several Georgia youth ranging in grades K-4. Our goal? Collect books for students to enjoy during their Holiday Break, who often times miss out on the Holiday Cheer so many experience, from poverty and limited resource. With your donation, we can help deserving youth take home books at K-4 reading level to enjoy this magical season!

Buis Book Foundation Inc

The Buis Book Foundation (BBF) was created in 2021 by Dr. Kirk Buis, who taught high school for thirty years, and his family, who are all lifelong readers.

During the last few years of teaching, Dr. Buis gave his 10th grade students a standardized reading test on the first day of school and learned that their average reading level was on the 7th grade, which meant that half of his 10th grade students were reading on a 4th, 5th or 6th grade level. This inspired the formation of the BBF, which partners with Title 1 elementary schools and provides free books to students to improve their literacy level.

The BBF now partners with three schools (Kimberly and Tuskegee Airmen Academy in Atlanta Public Schools and Britt in Gwinnett County Public Schools) and has donated thousands of books to thousands of students.
