The National Education Association has named March 2nd “Read Across America” Day in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday. This day means to emphasize the importance of parents reading to their children, especially during children’s younger years.
Here at United Way, one of our Initiatives is Born Learning: which emphasizes early childhood development. This means encouraging learning and parental involvement in these critical early years to further a child’s potential and future possibilities.
In honor of Read Across America Day and National Reading Month, United Way is holding a book drive across Delaware County! We will be collecting books for children ages 0-6 for Parenting Workshops we are helping sponsor with the Women’s Resource Center, J. Lewis Crozer Library, and Delaware County Family Centers. Donation boxes will be placed in various schools and organizations around the county, but if you can’t seem to find one you can donate to us directly by contacting the number below. Our Born Learning Book Drive is happening all month so if you see one of our donation boxes please make sure to donate to a great cause: Delaware County children’s futures.
