Books 4 Buddies was founded in 2012 by Toledo native Toure McCord and his grandmother Laneta Goings. The organization collects new and gently-used books for disadvantaged children and young adults, and has donated more than 30,000 books that have been delivered throughout Northwest Ohio and beyond.

The books are distributed by area students who serve as the programs ambassadors. The 2013-14 ambassadors are: Jesus Avila, Keshawn Corrgens, Ivan Dye, David Hart, David Henninger, Malcolm Johnson, Myles Johnson, Day’shawn Jones, Scottie Seymour, Nathaniel Stroman, Aaron Thompson, Andrew Urrutia, Oran Williams and Jaden Williams.
