Our Mission and Vision
Women’s Storybook Project prison program helps incarcerated mothers maintain contact with and bring comfort to their children. We help these mothers record stories and messages of love for their children and then mail the recordings along with the books so the children can hear their mother’s voice and know that she is thinking of them.

Our volunteers do so much more than record a story! They also bring acceptance, warmth, smiles and encouragement to the women and their families we are honored to serve.Volunteering for Women’s Storybook Project of Texas provides a beautiful opportunity to directly benefit women and children. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization, helping us serve over 1,600 mothers and 3,600 children in central and east Texas through our transformational program.
Our volunteers visit the 10 prisons we serve on the second and third Saturdays of each month, recording and uploading stories read by incarcerated mothers to their children. Last year, book and recordings of mom’s voice were mailed to children in 118 Texas counties, 35 states and New South Wales.
