An incredible turnout!! Though we’ve been doing these giveaways on occasion, this is the first one that the BUHO Foundation has done since its official announcement! Thank you to all the families & children who came to the Arts & Literacy Festival to choose up to 3 of our 250 books available to gift to our community 😊

A portion of every book, every coffee, and every dollar that comes into Búho goes to our nonprofit arm for us to do community outreach. Thank you all so much for all the support you’ve given us; it’s through you that the BUHO Foundation can continue to give back to Brownsville 🤎 🦉 📚

Additionally, thank you to all who attended our Phase 4 announcement during our cafe’s Grand Opening with the presentation “1,638 Days Later”. It started in the spirit of Independence Day by recognizing our 1st Amendment and three “Búho-ish” Americans (Franklin, Douglass, and Huerta) who embody our store’s values of Creativity, Curiosity, and Community. Then, we went through a history of the bookstore from pop-up shop to storefront to cafe, to the big reveal of Phase 4 being a hybrid nonprofit model. Finally, we did a ribbon cutting and had the attendees sign the original table from our pop-up days.

The future of Brownsville looks bright, and we wholeheartedly thank you, the Brownsville Readers, for helping us move through all 4 phases. We can’t wait to get started 😁 🦉 📚

Phase 4 is a nonprofit arm! In fact, we’ve been quietly doing it for the past 2 years. We would like to formally introduce you to “The BUHO Foundation” (Brownsville United through Humanities & Outreach: B.U.H.O.) A portion of every book, every coffee, and every gift that you purchase here at Búho will help continue to fund the philanthropy work that we’ve been doing for Brownsville!

This chapter of the Búho story is made possible through a partnership with the Mitte Cultural District to promote literacy in Brownsville alongside our bookstore’s values of community, curiosity, and creativity. Through the BUHO Foundation thus far, we’ve been able to gift 1,220 books to our community and host 168 community events in our space for everyone to enjoy free-of-charge.

From book giveaways, to Little Free Library restocks, to craft nights, and more - the BUHO Foundation is only getting started! Thank you all for your incredible support since we started as a little pop-up shop in 2022. We’re here at Phase 4 because you believed in Búho, and now we’re giving back because Búho believes in Brownsville. We appreciate you all for being a part of the Búho story, and we thank you for investing in our community through Búho, your downtown independent bookstore. 😊 🦉 📚
