Celebrate Labor Day by shopping with purpose!

This Mission Monday, shop at Altar’d State and give back while you shop. Every Monday through October, 10% of net proceeds will benefit Read To Succeed, helping provide free books and literacy programs to children, adults, and families throughout Rutherford County.

We are grateful to Altar’d State for supporting literacy in our community! 💙

Today, on International Day of Charity, we celebrate the generosity that strengthens communities and changes lives. At Read To Succeed, every donation, volunteer hour, and community partnership helps provide free literacy programs and books to children, adults, and families throughout Rutherford County.

Together, we are opening books, creating opportunities, and building a brighter future....one reader at a time.

WOW! Our incredible Nissan - Smyrna volunteers processed and packed 20,000 bookmarks and stickers for all 38 schools participating in this year’s Reading in the Schools Day....in a record-breaking two hours!

In the past, this project has taken us days to complete. We are truly grateful to this hardworking crew for saving us so much time and helping us prepare for this special day!

We are so grateful for our new friends at The Spine Bookshop in Smyrna! 📚 In honor of Dolly Parton and her incredible legacy of literacy, they donated a children’s book for every purchase made during a special day last week.

We can’t wait to share these books with children and families throughout our community. We are so thankful for local bookstores that believe in the power of reading! ❤️
