Reading is an important skill that sets children up for future success. To help strengthen and promote childhood literacy, encourage reading early and create a literacy-rich environment by giving children access to interesting books.
The United Way of San Antonio would like to extend the gift of reading to others with their Read United Book Drive.
Anyone who would like to donate during the book drive can bring a book to the United Way office located at 700 S. Alamo Street. Books can also be purchased on the United Way’s Amazon Gift list.
All donations will be accepted until April 20th.
