20% of Americans read below the level needed to earn a living wage. That statistic reinforces intergenerational poverty among low income families.

Not only do we provide joy to children in need during the holiday season, but we also strive to provide opportunities for improved literacy within that neglected demographic. We do this by distributing books to impoverished children and Title-I-funded funded schools across the Nation. |
