Books for Newborns

Our generous friend Matt Kimble is at it again. Watch the video to learn how you can help a family left in the wake of a man who died way too young and Books for Newborns at the same time. Please pass this along! @books4newborns #books4newborns

Great day for that little charity Richard Nix, Sr. created and built. Here’s to the next 10,000!

10,000 Book bags! 10,000!!! Please join us in celebrating this milestone, reached after only 3 years and 9 months in operation. 11 year old Ella Curry, a speech therapy outpatient at Alton Memorial Hospital, was the lucky girl to get the bag and a couple of special reading-related gifts to mark the occasion. And she and her therapist, Joellen Corona, got right to work reading what she had received. We look forward to creating more pathways to successful futures for economi...cally challenged kids and their families with our next 10,000 bags. Thank you to all who have made this possible. #booksfornewborns #10000booksbags
