Project Report | Jun 2, 2026
Progress so far in 2026

By Ashley Kruse | Grant Manager

 

It’s already halfway through 2026, and we want to celebrate what you’ve helped make possible. Thanks to your support, our program has reached more than 2,215 children and families across the country. 

What started as a goal to connect 1,000 children with the joy of reading has grown far beyond what we imagined. That growth is only possible because of your generosity and belief in this mission. 

As summer begins, now is an important time to invest in literacy and learning. Summer reading helps children stay engaged, build confidence, and maintain the skills they learned during the school year. It also creates opportunities for families to spend time together, explore new interests, and build lasting reading habits. 

Your support helps us: 

  • Provide books and resources that help families build home libraries and support summer learning 
  • Reach more children and families in communities across the country 
  • Create meaningful moments of connection between children and caregivers through reading 

Thank you for helping us keep the momentum going and inspiring a lifelong love of reading.
