At Malecki Financial Group, we believe that literacy, whether financial or foundational, empowers futures. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Book Smiles, a South Jersey-based nonprofit that promotes children’s literacy and book ownership in underserved communities.

We’re hosting a Winter Book Drive to collect new and gently used books for children and families in need. All donations will go directly to Book Smiles to help stock classroom libraries and support literacy programs across New Jersey.

How to Donate

• Drop-off Location: Malecki Financial Group, Edison, NJ
• Dates: November 17 to December 19, 2025
• Hours: During regular business hours
• What to Bring:
  • Children’s books are our main focus—picture books, early readers, chapter books, and YA titles
  • All books are welcome: Book Smiles also accepts adult fiction, nonfiction, and educational materials

Tax Deduction Forms Available

If you’d like a receipt for your donation, we’ll have tax forms available at the front desk.

Why It Matters

Book Smiles believes that every child deserves access to books at home. By donating, you’re helping build a culture of literacy: one book, one smile at a time.

As we say at MFG:
“We’re not here to preach. We’re here to teach.”
