About the project
Remember the movie "A Christmas Story?" Well scratch that, forget Ralphie, and keep the theme in mind. For Christmas we are donating 25-50 books to promote literacy at home. My parents gifted me books every year for Christmas. I can remember the Babysitter's' Club, Judy Blume & more!
What were your favorite childhood books? What stories do you like to share with your children? Share your memories and make a donation today! Tell us what book you would like us to purchase or we can make a selection for you.
The Steps
1. Select motivating and age appropriate books (toddler - high school)
2. Distribute books in Christmas Stocking at a community center or with a local partner
Why we‘re doing it
Literacy rates in Memphis are low. We are not here to save the entire city, but definitely to start somewhere. By placing at least one book in the home, at no cost to the family, we hope to spark a new interest in reading.
