  • Volunteer Stories

    Volunteering at the Read and Feed blessed me as
    much as it did the children and their families.
    Watching the kids become excited about reading a
    story all by themselves or having such interest
    listening to a book read to a group was priceless.

    Melisa H.

    I enjoy meeting the kids and building a
    relationship with them.

  • Mobile Library

    Our mobile library will begin making weekly
    visits to recreation centers, neighborhoods,
    and apartment complexes sometime in the
    early part of 2026. Not only will they be able
    to check out books, but we will offer art and
    reading activities for children, as well as.
    parenting classes. We need volunteer
    “librarians” to lead or help with checking out
    books and leading the art activities.
    We also need drivers with a CDL license
    who can commit to one weekday afternoon
    or Saturday for 2-3 hours.

  • Mentoring

    We need mentors who are willing to commit to
    at least one school year of walking alongside a
    family to encourage them as they work
    through the Family Literacy Program
    requirements. This will look different for each
    family – depending on what is best for them
    and the mentor. There will be required training
    to equip you so you will be confident in your
    role.

  • Tutoring

    Tutoring: We need tutors to work
    individually with kids who are struggling in
    reading. We provide the materials (we use real
    books and chrome books) and will be available
    to answer any questions. We offer tutoring on
    Tuesdays and may add Wednesdays.


    Read and Feed Summer Program: This is
    one of our main events and usually takes place
    in June. We need tutors who can commit to 4
    or 5 consecutive day or evenings. We are
    making some changes for 2026, so please
    check back for more information.
