We've Reached 20,000 Children and Growing!

By Ashley Kruse | Grant Manager

Dear Supporters and Book Lovers, 

 

The year-end giving season is almost upon us! As we step into the season of generosity, we’re excited to share an inspiring milestone with you. Thanks to your continued support, our home library program has now reached more than 20,000 children and families across the country. 

 

What started with a goal to connect 1,000 children with the joy of reading has grown far beyond our expectations, and it’s all because of you. 

 

This giving season, we're setting our sights even higher. With your help, we hope to reach 25,000 children and families and continue expanding access to books and the benefits of shared reading. 

 

Here’s how your generosity makes a difference: 

  • Equips families with the tools to create their own home libraries 
  • Helps us connect with new communities nationwide 
  • Encourages lasting bonds between children and caregivers through stories and shared time 

 

Your support is at the heart of this work. Together, we are opening doors, turning pages, and creating lifelong readers, one story at a time.  

 

With heartfelt thanks, 
The Raising a Reader Team
