Feed the Need to Read: Building a Brighter Future
The Importance of Early Literacy
Did you know that 90% of a child’s brain development occurs by age 5? Yet, many children, especially in underserved communities, lack access to age-appropriate books and early literacy opportunities. Without these resources, their future academic success and love for learning are at risk.
Our Mission
Hunger Fight’s ‘Feed the Need to Read’ program works to bridge this gap by partnering with daycares across Florida and South Georgia to provide age-appropriate books. These materials help nurture early literacy skills, setting children on a path to lifelong learning and success.
The Impact
Children with access to high-quality education and literacy resources by age 5 are 70% more likely to graduate high school. By providing essential reading materials, we’re empowering children to overcome barriers and fostering a love for reading that will last a lifetime.
Join Us in Expanding Access
Your support helps us reach even more children and families, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond. Together, we can create a future where every child has access to books, nourishment, and the opportunity to thrive.
