Help us Inspire Readers for Tomorrow
The Problem
Writing and reading have always been an integral part of society, allowing us to communicate, to learn, and ultimately, flourish. It is a tragedy then, that even today, a growing number of Americans find themselves unable to read at an adequate level.[1] We see this problem especially in underprivileged families, who lack the resources, of often, the education to properly foster an aptitude for reading in their children. [2] This is a problem affecting all Americans that we as a community must come together to confront

Our Solution
We partner with local outreach organizations to provide kids with books to underprivileged students at no cost to themselves, fostering a love for reading and learning that lasts a lifetime. We also, on request, help said organizations with buying new sets of books to expand the curriculum and ensure that they are able to continue their lifechanging work.
