Our first chapter objective is to BUILD LITERACY by spending time reading to children, donating books to local children and to their school libraries, working with parents to understand the value of increasing vocabulary thru talking and reading and working with local schools and organizations to provide them with volunteers to increase reading skills and comprehension. Another objective is to EMPOWER CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES by helping them with basic skills; we provide Early Literacy Bags to a local pregnancy center to help foster a love of learning from infancy. We have started a children's book club a a Title 1 school. Additionally, we participate in a local summer feeding program every summer for children who attend Title 1 schools. We MEET BASIC NEEDS by celebrating newborns and providing items to a local Medicaid medical practice; we call these Layette bags, which include diapers, wipes, handmade blankets, onesies, board books, handmade bibs, baby shampoo & lotion, etc. We have put together Blessing Bags for economically disadvantaged families that include toothpaste, toothbrushes, dish detergent, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc. We also provide Hygiene Kits to local schools that they gave give to children's families when they see the need. Additionally, we provide snack bags to a local Medicaid medical practice to help fight daily hunger.
