Children
The Gift of Reading
Offer a little imagination to a needy child
Goal of the 13th edition: to distribute 30,700 new children's books!
In November and December, the Literacy Foundation and actor Marie Turgeon invite you to participate in the 13th edition of The Gift of Reading program by purchasing a new book for a needy child.
Help us bring the world of the imagination into the everyday lives of children living in families where books are often in short supply or nonexistent. In addition to instilling them with the love of reading, your donation can open the doors to a world of discovery.
When you participate in The Gift of Reading, you will help us to:
- Encourage young people to stay in school and prevent illiteracy in children aged 0–12 from underprivileged neighbourhoods.
- Reach parents with weak reading skills, whom we can also help through the Info-Alpha line.
Give in The Gift of Reading today!
There are three ways to participate in The Gift of Reading:
- Donate a new children's book at a participating collection site
- Make an online cash donation
- Organize a book or fundraising drive
If you would like to get involved as a collection site (bookstore or library), feel free to get in touch with us.
