Binc Announces a Second Matching Gift to Help Book and Comic People Affected by Hurricanes and Other Disasters as the Need Continues to Grow

As Hurricane Milton barrels toward Florida and recovery efforts continue across six states in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Sourcebooks has offered a second $10,000 matching gift to ensure donations made to the Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation will have double the impact. Sourcebooks will match all gifts, regardless of size, up to $10,000 to continue to meet the needs of the hundreds of bookstores and comic shops and thousands of store employees potentially impacted by the two hurricanes. As of Monday, Oct. 7, Binc had already received 34 calls for help from 11 stores and 23 individuals with many more expected, and free mental health wellness is being offered to anyone in need.

The foundation receives requests every day from book and comic store employees and owners experiencing unforeseen emergency financial, medical and mental health hardships, and has helped stores around the country recover after natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Double the impact of a gift to Binc by donating today.
