Our mission: using the transformative power of literacy to disrupt the School-to-Prison and Foster Care-to-Prison Pipelines
The United States faces a significant reading crisis and despite recognizing the importance of reading, we often fail to dedicate sufficient time to it.
For struggling readers, the right books and effective strategies can transform their development and confidence.
Parental Involvement
Parents play a crucial role, especially during the summer when schools are out and learning is unstructured. The Peaches and Sourcream Children’s Foundation, Inc. is here to support parents in this vital task. While hiring top-tier educators and distributing thousands of books is beneficial, supporting parents who juggle their children’s needs is equally important.
Our Virtual Reading Program Offers:
Book Selection:
Supportive Strategies:
Encouragement and Motivation:
The Peaches and Sourcream Children’s Foundation is not just handing out books; we’re revolutionizing reading habits! We’re committed to reading alongside families for four weeks to ensure each book is completed. Additionally, we provide incentives to reward their reading and writing efforts.
This comprehensive approach fosters a sustainable reading culture and supports families in nurturing a love for reading.
We Grow Readers One Summer At a Time!
We accept book donations exclusively from our curated wish list.
Why?
Each year, in preparation for our Annual Book Day in November, our program director curates a book list aligned with the American Library Association (ALA) summer theme. This list serves as the foundation of our book campaign for the following year.
You can find our official book list on our website under the “Booklist” tab. Donations can be made through our PayPal portal or by purchasing books from your preferred retailer and having them shipped to Barnes & Noble, Potomac Yard, Alexandria, VA.
We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support in helping us provide children with the best literary resources possible.
Your generous donations empower our organization to craft delightful reading experiences and offer books and other gifts to the children we serve. As a rapidly growing 501(c)(3) non-profit operating on a modest budget, your contribution will directly impact our young learners. Your donation will enable us to provide essential school supplies, fresh uniforms, engaging books, nourishing food baskets, exciting special programs, and the prestigious Tracey D. Ray Scholarship for educators dedicated to our cause.
We sincerely appreciate your invaluable support!
