About this organization
Mission
Read and Feed is a non-profit whose mission is to give low-income children an appetite for reading. We partner with elementary schools, churches, community centers and other non-profit organizations to identify at-risk children in grades K-5 who have fallen behind in reading proficiency. We take our mobile classrooms into the community four nights a week for 33 weeks to feed and tutor these children.
About
With three mobile classrooms and partnerships with other non-profit organizations, Read and Feed served approximately 600 children in 2015. We continue to provide a nutritious meal, reading tutoring and age appropriate books at no charge to all of the children attending the program. In return, we ask for their commitment to attend the program and be participants. In 2015 we distributed over 33,500 books through our program, building first time libraries at home for many of the children.
