Bookshop.org is matching up to $10,000 in donations to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation to support booksellers and comic retailers affected by the wildfires that have devastated Southern California this week.
"Binc already knows the fires have closed dozens of stores, forced many book and comic people to evacuate or shelter in place due to smoke, and taken the homes of three booksellers," said Erika Mantz, Binc's communication coordinator. "The devastation is widespread and ongoing, and we know the darkest days are yet to come."
"Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the tragic destruction of the California fires," said Bookshop.org CEO Andy Hunter. "To support those in our community of booksellers who have been affected, Bookshop.org is pledging $10,000 in a donation matching grant to help raise awareness and funds for those in need."
