It's an initiative that was borne of alarm at the high rate of illiteracy in soldiers 100 years ago. We're still fighting the good fight and thank the @NEAToday and the American Legion for getting things started and fighting alongside us to lower illiteracy rates. #AEW2025

Filling bellies and fueling futures!
So excited to be out in our local communities fostering a love of reading in partnership with The New Path's food pantries. @NewPathServes @New Path Outreach #childrensliteracy #summerreading
Kids Read Now partners with two pantries for Miami County book distributions
Kids Read Now provides books to food pantries to distribute to families in need, ensuring kids who are too old for the Dolly Parton Imagination library can still receive free reading materials over the summer.
