Established in 2019
The story of Peaches and Sourcream Children's Foundation began in 2018 as a for-profit initiative offering free tutoring services to first- and second-grade children in Richmond, Virginia , and Philadelphia , Pennsylvania. What started as a grassroots effort to strengthen foundational reading skills soon grew into a broader commitment to children's literacy.
When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted in-person learning in 2020 , PSCF adapted by moving its services online. This transition inspired the development of our flagship Virtual Summer Reading Rewards Program, combining reading , writing, family participation, and incentives to keep children learning and engaged during the summer months.
Today, PSCF continues to grow as a nonprofit foundation, reaching families across the country while remaining committed to its original purpose : making literacy accessible, to combat the school- to- prison and foster care pipelines.
