About our Beneficiary: Read USA, Inc. is “an organization committed to a literate community, specifically by providing quality book access, book selection and ownership to young, eager learners that are economically disadvantaged.” -Dolores Barr Weaver

In response to COVID-19, READ USA has increased support for Title 1 elementary school students in Duval County! In the week of 3/30/2020 they provided 35,000 new books and parent engagement instructional materials to every Title 1 Elementary school student, including Head Start and ESE students.

But, they need your help! For these kids, physically touching a book will not happen until physical school resumes ... unless READ USA and YOU make it happen!  In addition to the physical well-being provided by food and shelter, children need the physical brain-food represented by books.  Imagine – a library of books they can share with their family at a time when families are more likely to read together than ever.

READERS ARE LEADERS!
