This April, the Build & Serve Charitable Alliance is proud to launch the 2026 AGC Book Drive, a month-long initiative dedicated to constructing a stronger foundation for the next generation of San Diegans. At the San Diego Book Project (SDBP), the mission is to promote literacy as a foundational life skill. They provide free books to children and families in need, fostering a love for reading, improving literacy, and promoting educational equity. By reaching under-resourced communities, the SDBP works to eliminate barriers to literacy, ensuring that children have access to the transformative power of a book. From April 1 through April 30, AGC member firms are encouraged to drop off new or gently used children's books at designated locations throughout the county. What We’re Looking For: Picture books and early readers Chapter books for middle and high schoolers New or gently used condition A special highlight of this year’s drive is partnering with the Future Construction Leaders' Little Free Library project. On April 2–3, teams of volunteers and middle school students will be on site at our headquarters to construct these custom-built libraries. A portion of the books collected during our April drive will go directly toward stocking these libraries, which will then be placed throughout the community to promote literacy. Book Drive Drop-Off Locations: AGC San Diego Headquarters: 10140 Riverford Road, Lakeside, CA 92040 (East County) Sundt Construction: 1660 Hotel Circle North, San Diego, CA 92108 (Mission Valley, Central San Diego) Erickson-Hall Construction: 500 Corporate Drive, Escondido, CA 92029 (North County) T.B. Penick & Sons: 13280 Evening Creek South Drive, San Diego, CA 92128 (North County) Together, let's show San Diego that the construction industry doesn't just build structures, we build communities.
