Read more, help more. That’s our motto.

Our story

On the mend after years of dealing with health issues, Rachel Cleveland wanted to share her love of reading while giving back to her Twin Cities community. The idea for Little Charity Book Truck was born.

By not having a brick and mortar storefront, Little Charity Book Truck has very few administrative and overhead costs. Similarly, all individuals involved with the book truck are volunteers, so every dollar made through the purchase of new and used books goes directly back into the community. It’s truly a passion project.

Reading books while helping others, what could be better?

Our mission

Spreading a love of reading, one book at a time, to support youth-focused Minnesota charities in their goal of improving the lives of the people in their communities.

Our vision

To ignite a passion for reading while lifting up Minnesota’s youth in need.

Our impact

At the end of each year, we will update this section to reflect how much money has been donated and will provide feedback from the organizations we support. We love hearing how they put the funds to good use! Little Charity Book Truck will also post our annual giving report.
