Who we are
A bit about our history…
Our Building Lives through Reading campaign is for the children, their families, and ultimately for our community.
As an approved Community Partner with Des Moines Public Schools, we are partnering with three elementary schools—Capitol View, Edmunds, and George Washington Carver. These schools are nearing the 100% poverty level with at least 80% non-English speaking students.
They need our help!
With your financial support, we can provide every K-5 students at these schools with a book every month through the school year !
That means 510 students at Capitol View, 265 at Edmunds, and 420 at GW Carver will receive a book-a-month, or 9 books each school year plus a book a month for the schools’ libraries!
As our funding increases, so will the number of schools!
JOIN US TODAY—as an organization or individually.
With your help, we can put books in the hands of children at a time when they are needed the most.
