This is an organization whose cause I can “wrap my hands around”; my small contribution was cookies for their latest fundraiser.  First Book gets new books to children in need.  The local Buffalo advisory board has worked with school districts and partnered with businesses and community programs to do just that.  It earned a 4 star rating (highest possible) from Charity Navigator- rating of non-profits on strength of their finances, control of administrative and fundraising expenses, and transparency of their operations.  If you want to know more, click on this link:  http://www.firstbook.org
