Our mission: Encouraging family engagement through reading, especially during the formative and critical K–3 years.
As we look ahead to Summer Reading 2026: “Unearth A Story,” we aim to uncover stories that bring what’s hidden, forgotten, or overlooked into the light. Depending on funding, each child will receive 20–40 books to read within a community of peers, our “big book club.” Participants read daily, write summaries, and earn $1.00 for each completed summary as part of our Read and Reward model that motivates reading, reflection, and responsibility.
Your donation makes this possible. Every gift nurtures a child’s love for reading, strengthens family bonds, and helps children build confidence and find their voice.

While numerous organizations distribute books to millions of children, distribution alone is not enough. Access does not guarantee engagement. That’s why the Peaches and Sourcream Children’s Foundation was established: to actively combat the -school - to prison and foster care -to prison pipelines by not only providing books but also fostering a culture of literacy through our innovative summer reading program.
Our approach is both simple and impactful—returning to the basics: parents read with their children, assist them in writing summaries, and celebrate their efforts with meaningful rewards. This is where PSCF makes a difference. We recruit families, purchase books, guide them through the reading and writing process, and provide monetary incentives over a four-week period. Research shows that forming a habit requires consistent practice for approximately 18 days, and our program is built with that science in mind.
Our ultimate goal is to transform reading from a mandatory academic requirement into a joyful, sustainable family tradition.
