Sponsor our... Programs

Our programs educate children and families about the importance of reading and strive to get books into the hands of every child so they have the tools they need to read and succeed.

Books for Babies Gives 2,300+ new board books and literacy information to families leaving the hospital with newborns.
Literacy Bookshelves Stocks 14,000+ books on bookshelves at 40 agencies serving low-income clients so children can take a free book home to read.
Bag o' Books Packs individual book orders totaling 14,000+ books dispersed in 2022 for families in Thurston and Mason counties, ordered online and picked up at our office
Read to Me Shares story time visits and 10,000+ free books with children ages 3-5 at Head Start and other childcare facilities monthly.

What are the benefits of sponsoring an SSRF program? Besides getting books to the children of your community, SSRF sponsorship advertises your support by including your logo or name (depending on sponsorship level) on our website, e-Newsletters, and social media posts.
