Kids Need to Read!

July 18, 2022

It’s Monday! Every week we share a nonprofit that is working hard to make the world a better place. We’re so proud to bring the nonprofit heroes at Kids Need to Read back to the spotlight.

As always, we are collecting as many $1-10 donations as possible through Sunday, and matching them (up to $500)!

Here’s why:

Founded with a passion to improve the lives of underserved children by providing inspiring book collections and engaging literacy programs to underfunded schools, libraries, and organizations across the nation, Kids Need to Read aspires to empower and embolden every last child through a culture of reading.

For many of the children it serves, Kids Need to Read represents a crucial link to a strong literacy education, and its programs help build and nurture support systems for the development of literate minds.

By immersing children in an integrated world of literary experiences that teaches them, firsthand, the impact of reading on every aspect of life, imagination is ignited and confidence is built for a prosperous future, regardless of race, economic status, or personal capabilities.

We wholeheartedly support the efforts of the staff and volunteers at Kids Need to Read and hope you will too, by giving a little and sharing a lot.

If we all give a little together, we can help change the world. Thanks for making a difference this week.
