Sponsor our... Programs

| Literacy Bookshelves | Stocks 30,000+ books on bookshelves at 40 agencies serving low-income clients so children can take a free book home to read. |
| Connect with Me | Provides books and literacy materials to incarcerated parents to share with their children during family visits. |

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.
