With more than 570 confirmed cases statewide and several counties experiencing concentrated outbreaks, we must work to reduce further spread.

It's International Literacy Day📖

Speaking of reading, did you know through our Early Childhood Initiative, UWSA distributed 15,000 books to local children over the past year!

Families participating in evidence-based programming we support (like Parents as Teachers) are also receiving books from parent educators right at their home visits!

At United Way, we believe literacy is more than just the ability to read and write.

It is the foundation for opportunity, empowering individuals to achieve their dreams and building a thriving future for generations to come. ✨

Together, we are committed to ensuring every child has the tools to succeed.

As National Literacy Month begins, we're celebrating every page turned, every story told, and every connection made as families across the country read together. 📚
