Grow their love of reading by making a contribution to Reading
to Kids' 2018 Annual Fund Drive!
Each year, from the October to the December reading clubs, we ask our
supporters to help us inspire underserved children with a love of
reading by making a donation to Reading to Kids.
Reading to Kids has been able to thrive thanks to the thousands of
hours of participation by teachers, administrators, parents,
volunteers, and elementary school children
(click
here for program statistics)
and thanks to generous financial contributions by foundations,
businesses, agencies, and individuals like you.
In May 1999, Reading to Kids held its
first reading club with 20 students and 8 volunteers at Gratts Elementary
School. Nineteen years later, on average, 356 Reading to Kids
volunteers read to 712 children each month at eight elementary schools!
Kids emerge from our program with more enthusiasm for
reading, books for their home library, stronger school libraries, personal
relationships with volunteers, and changed attitudes for reading in English!
In order to sustain and expand our program, we need
your help! Your donation will help to purchase hardcover books for
elementary school libraries in low-income communities, fund book donations
directly to children and parents to help them develop their own home libraries,
and expand our program into new schools and communities.
Please join us by making a donation to Reading to Kids.
If you have any questions regarding the Annual Fund Drive, please feel free to
contact Charlie Orchard at the Reading to Kids office at (310)
479-7455 or by email at Charlie.Orchard @ readingtokids.org.
Thank you for your support!
