We’re excited to share that thanks to your generous support, we exceeded our $10,000 end-of-year campaign goal, an achievement that ensures every one of our 2024 literacy financial obligations is met. This strong finish lays a solid foundation for the kick off of our 2025 mission, empowering us to connect more magazines with children, families, veterans and educators who rely on us for access to impactful reading materials. Thank you for helping us start the new year on solid footings!
To our schools, teachers, and literacy programs who bring magazines into classrooms and mentor eager learners — thank you for turning each gifted title into a powerful educational tool.
To our consumer and business magazine recyclers — your ongoing flow of reading materials is the pipeline that feeds our entire effort.
To our publishers — your donated pallets of quality magazines are the backbone of our program, ensuring variety and broad appeal for all ages.
To our volunteers — your consistent hands-on support for our very heavy literacy lift keeps every aspect of our mission alive and thriving, from sorting to delivering and everything in between.
And to our individual, corporate and foundation donors — your financial and in-kind gifts fuel essential logistics and expansions that make large-scale literacy impact possible.
Each of you is mission-critical, powering the vision of reaching every community with the print magazines they crave for learning, inspiration and pure reading joy.
As 2024 came to a close, we reflected on the strides made — monthly sorting events, stronger library ties, shipments overseas, deeper engagement with veterans, and the largest Literacy Newsstands yet in high-volume pantries. Public celebrations at festivals, holiday markets and reading fairs showed donors, volunteers and publishers the real impact of their efforts. These year-end accomplishments energize us and confirm that we’re on a promising path, ready to tackle even more ambitious literacy goals in the future.
Every single magazine we rescue, sort and deliver helps fulfill our promise to break down barriers to reading — one home, classroom and community at a time. We’re excited to roll out our growth plans for this year, with expanded partnerships, enhanced shipping routes and plenty of new ways to get involved. Together, we’ll continue to change lives by nourishing minds with the power of print.
Stay tuned for 2025!
