| Refer Someone You Care About |
If you know someone who could benefit from any of our services let us know about the need and we will provide information to you or to them directly that will let us reach out.Your caring action could be a window . . .
. . . of opportunity for someone who dropped out of school and can’t seem to keep a job or even get a job.
. . . to self-esteem for a parent who would like to help a child with homework but cannot, or is frustrated and embarrassed in every day situations that are not a problem for a person who can read.
. . . to empowerment for someone who would like to participate in community activities but is fearful of being classified as “stupid”.
. . . to change for a person who wants a better life for themselves or their family but does not know where to begin. |

The Literacy Coalition is able to continue its good work because of the support of business owners and just folks who see the need and are able to help with a contribution. They are willing to invest now because they see the long range return in improved quality of life for all of us and our children. Donations can be for a specific program, or leave it undesignated and it will be applied where the need is greatest. $48 will provide the books for one year to an Imagination Library registrant. $95 will provide the funds needed to graduate from the GED Program for someone who could not otherwise afford it. $2500 will cover the costs of our Dictionary/Thesaurus Program. $500 will sponsor a team for our annual Spelling Bee. Any amount you can give will help us help someone to a better future!
