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.
