Over the past two years book and comic stores across the country pivoted and rose to meet the need in their communities. They did this while facing unprecedented personal challenges that affected their own household financial stability.
The #ReadLoveSupportBinc Challenge is a great way to honor booksellers and comic retailers and raise money to continue to provide assistance as they face the financial and emotional impact of the pandemic, inflation, lack of affordable housing, high cost of healthcare, and the strain on their mental health.
Your participation in the #ReadLoveSupportBinc Challenge, and your donation to Binc, will provide real help for the employees and owners of bookstores and comic shops in need.
Binc provides crucial assistance every day, helping to keep financial hardships from becoming financial catastrophes.

It brings me happiness to know that even with a small contribution, I can help booksellers across the country when crisis strikes. Books, bookstores, and booksellers bring me such joy that it means something to me to be able to contribute to relief when booksellers are struggling. We all need a boost at times, and I’m happy that I can provide a small one. After setting up my monthly contribution, I got a very sweet phone call from the folks at Binc. Their genuine care for both their donors and their recipients was heart warming. Thrilled to be contributing to this organization.
