Raising Reader distributes thousands of books to Bay Area children and their families each year
Love books? Love kids? Love to help kids get great Raising A Reader books? Volunteer for Raising A Reader!
If you’re available Saturday August, 28th you can help sort and pack Raising A Reader books and other materials for our wonderful Raising A Reader families.
Raising A Reader is a take-home book bag program, which successfully reaches the toughest, most critical population: low income families with poor readers or parents that do not speak English well. It targets the first five years of life, a vital development window when 90% of brain growth occurs.
We will be at the San Francisco Food Bank (900 Pennsylvania Ave, in Potrero Hill). We have four hours to sort through all the materials, and we need help! It’s easy work—we just need more hands, and you’ll be supporting the San Francisco Raising A Reader program benefiting more than 5,000 of the toughest-to-reach young children and their families.
We’ll be at the Food Bank with piles of kids’ books from 10am – 2pm. There will be excellent treats for your excellent volunteering.
Come for 2 hours or to stay for all 4 hours—we appreciate any amount of time you can spare.
Bring your kids! Bring your friends! We’re looking for 15 volunteers. Please let us know if you can join us & we’ll send more details…
To volunteer contact Betsy Keever, bkeever@uwba.org, 415.808.4343 or Lynne Maes, lmaes@uwba.org, 415.808.4403.
