Read United works to close the early childhood literacy gap within low-income households by providing emerging and early readers with quality, developmentally appropriate books for the home and a first-hand volunteer reading experience in the classroom.
On Read United Day, United Way volunteers will read to over 750 classrooms and deliver more than 18,000 books to children, advancing early childhood literacy in the Coastal Empire. The cost of sponsorship is approximately $5.00 per child, and while less traditional than event-oriented sponsorships, there is no better way to change lives for generations to come. Read United is currently our only sponsorship opportunity for organizations that can provide volunteer power as well.
Read United Day will take place on Friday, February 24 but literacy programming is being delivered all year.
