As we are primarily donor-supporter, the gifts you give, whether it is volunteering your time, providing in-kind services, or through monetary donations, allow us to continue to share the joy of reading and literacy, one book, one child, one family at a time. Here are some of the ways you can help:

Volunteers

We could not survive without the generosity of our volunteers. Our volunteers assist us with book delivery and pick up, book drives, staffing of events, office assistance and so much more. <details>

Monetary Donations

Whether it is "keeping the lights on," purchasing a box of rubber bands, or any other day to day operating costs; or the many costs associated with hosting an event; printing of materials, or starting and maintaining programs, your individual monetary donation, no matter how small, allows us to continue to thrive and grow. Contact: Jean Caron at jcaron@readtogrow.org or (203) 488-6800.

Corporate Support

Through corporate sponsorships, Read to Grow is able to start up programs, such as Books for Babies, and maintain them and other similar activities. This kind of corporate support is critical to our success. When businesses reach out to us in this manner, it allows us to reach so many more children throughout Connecticut.
