This year, at the start of summer 2021, we launched our Bucks for Books campaign as part of AAPCI’s literacy program across our shelters.
Our aim is to ensure that all of our residents, children and adults alike, have access to books and reading materials during their time with us. We understand the importance of reading for education and development, and more importantly, enjoyment and offering a chance to escape into someone else’s story.
We want to instil a love of reading, with the hope that when our residents transition into finding a permanent home, they will continue this journey on their own.
