My brother-in-law is in the Air Force, so I'm particularly supportive of United Through Reading's mission. They strive "to unite military families facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud together."
How do they accomplish this, you might ask? "United Through Reading helps ease the stress of separation for military
families by having deployed parents read children’s books aloud via DVD
for their child to watch at home."
You can donate to United Through Reading online, by phone, or by mail. United Through Reading welcomes volunteers who are over 21 and familiar with military culture.
United Through Reading has a four-star rating from Charity Navigator.
That is cool! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! My oldest son is in the Air Force and my younger sons would LOVE to see him reading a book to them. I am going to check it out. THANK YOU!
