You Can Empower a Child – Give the Gift of Literacy

Your support puts books directly into the hands of children who need them most.

Your donation of $30 to Reach Out and Read Midwest will provide a year’s worth of books for a child from our most vulnerable walks of life through their well-child visits. Every donation brings us all closer to a future where every child grows up with the same access to educational tools, building confidence, curiosity, and the joy of reading and learning.

You’re not just giving a book—you’re giving a child the tools to succeed in school and in life.

Be the Reason a Child Thrives.

For more than 15 years, Reach Out and Read has partnered with pediatricians across Nebraska and Iowa to put books into the hands of families—and a love of reading into the hearts of children.

By "prescribing" books at wellness visits, doctors help parents build their children’s language and literacy skills from the very start. You’re not just giving a book—you’re giving a child the tools to succeed in school and in life.
