Children who have access to their own books and are read to as young children develop a love of reading and creates early readers. Children who love reading do better in school and strengthens success academically. YOU can help give local children a great start to reading and their future success!
Help United Way provide new books to children whose families are struggling financially by donating or running a new book collection drive as part of our United for Literacy program. This is an easy way to have an impact. Organize a collection of new children's books (for ages 3 through 10 years), that will be shared with children who do not have access to books at home through United Way's programs and our nonprofit partners.
There is an online donating option that can be shared with your friends and family, where people can purchase books online for your drive and have them delivered directly to United Way. Here is the link:
If you need more information or have any questions, please reach out to Lisa Galonardo at lisa.galonardo@unitedwaynnj.org.
Thank you for your interest and for giving young students the tools needed to develop a love of reading!
