dd’s Discounts

Since 2009, First Book and Ross Stores have collaborated on the annual Youth Literacy Fundraiser in all dd’s DISCOUNTS Stores, distributing over 2.5 million books nationwide. This initiative is a hyper-local fundraising effort with impact across the U.S., ensuring that every dollar raised benefits the community where it was generated. First Book also receives First Book Marketplace funding for local schools and programs during the Grand Opening ceremonies for select, new dd’s and Ross Store locations. Throughout the year, Ross also supports nonprofits through its employee matching gift program, further enhancing our ability to provide vital resources and support to children in need.

graphic with text that says: "Double Your Impact to Help Give a Million Books! Help give a million books to kids in low-income communities this holiday season and beyond. The book you send may be the only holiday gift a child gets, and helping a child love books makes a lasting difference. Give by December 31 to double your impact through a Matching Challenge Fund from our generous friends at Pizza Hut — twice as many books with a single gift!" There is a red donation button in the lower right corner. On the left side of the graphic is an image of a young girl holding up a book and smiling.
