🍕 COMMUNITY PARTNER SPOTLIGHT 🍕

Huge thank you to Hungry Howie’s for continuing to show up for Saginaw families and youth through FACT 989READS Mobile Monday! 💙

From sponsoring pizza for our families to bringing energy, fun, and smiles into the space, their support has helped make Mobile Monday feel welcoming, joyful, and community-centered for so many children over the past year.

Something as simple as sharing a meal creates connection. It helps families slow down, engage, build relationships, and simply enjoy being together.

We truly appreciate partners who understand that community impact is not always about the biggest gesture — sometimes it’s about consistency, presence, and showing up month after month for families.
Thank you Hungry Howie’s for continuing to pour into our community. 🍕🤍

📍 Join us June 8th for our ONE YEAR anniversary celebration of FACT 989READS Mobile Monday!
