What’s your role in this story?
Come fill a child’s next chapter with stories, songs, laughter, and delight, all while helping them reap the rewards of literacy. Every child has the right to read, and literacy is a gateway to opportunity. But only 55% of children ages 0-5 have a family member read books aloud to them at least five days a week.
When you step into the classroom, you step into the stories of children–playing a key role in fostering a love of reading.

There’s more than one way to help
If you don’t see yourself reading in front of a classroom, there are still plenty of opportunities to support literacy.
Warehouse and Delivery Support
We can always use helping hands in our warehouse. This could include assembling materials, packing books, and dropping them off at schools and classrooms.
Group Workdays
Gather your colleagues for a full or half-day event in our warehouse to assist with book packing. Idea for groups the size of 5-25 who can comfortably stand for prolonged periods of time, bend and lift up to 25.
Young Professionals Group
Join a community of young professionals in their 20s and 30s who champion early childhood literacy through fundraising events, networking, and community engagement.
Financial Support
With a variety of avenues in which to donate your finances, we make it easy to invest in the lives of future readers.
