As we celebrate this special season, we reflect on the incredible resilience and strength our community has shown in the face of Hurricane Helene's challenges. Together, we have witnessed neighbors helping neighbors, rebuilding homes, and deepening bonds that make our home such a loving and caring community.

May this holiday season bring peace to your hearts, joy to your homes, and hope for brighter days ahead.

To our Literacy Together family, we wish you a happy and prosperous New Year!

Thank you for your unwavering support—we are so lucky to have you! 🙏🏼😊

W.D. Williams Elementary Winter Fest with donated books

Do you remember the story of Kassandra, the W.D. Williams Elementary librarian whose heartfelt inquiry for books sparked the Literacy Together book drive during the post-Helene days? Her vision became a reality thanks to your generosity and support. Last week, the school celebrated a joyful Winter Fest, and every student took home a book for the holidays!

We couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for your support! 😍

Thank you SO MUCH to New Belgium, who included Literacy Together as a beneficiary of their New Belgium Liquid Center Annual Donations Program! We are so moved that New Belgium has shown up for us in this way - and in these times. Their doors are back open this week, so head out that way, have a pint, and show them some love!

So far, 147 people have attended our online volunteer orientation meetings in 2024! We've modified the format to be more inclusive. Everyone is welcome to join us, from prospective volunteer tutors to community members to local business owners and nonprofits wanting to learn more about Literacy Together's work. This is what one participant said after an orientation meeting this month:

The orientation meeting definitely showed me that there is a much more severe gap in reading/writing abilities than I had previously thought. I am very excited to be a part of this organization!
