We are proud to share that this is our 5th year supporting READ Lakeland. Literacy is an absolute necessity in our society. It opens doors to better jobs, higher education, and financial independence, breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a stronger community. But, reading is also a source of joy, imagination and escape! We feel empathy for anyone who longs to understand words on a page but cannot. Everyone deserves the chance to experience the power of literacy. This is why we give, and if you feel the same, we ask you to join us!
