Your Support Makes a Difference

At Reach Out and Read Michigan, we believe that every child deserves a strong start. Your donations provide the resources that help families across the state access early literacy, regardless of background or economic status. By supporting our program, you’re giving young children the chance to make reading a part of their everyday lives—a gift that creates a ripple effect, strengthening our communities for generations.

Reading is a powerful tool in shaping a child's future. Unfortunately, one-third of young children in the U.S., and half of those living in poverty, arrive at kindergarten without the skills they need to succeed. Your contribution helps close this gap. When you donate to Reach Out and Read Michigan, you are not just providing books; you are building a foundation for success.

Together, we are fighting the effects of income inequality and giving every child the chance to thrive.

Host a Book Drive

Looking for another way to contribute? Consider hosting a book drive at your office or business.

Employees can bring in new or gently used books, helping to spread the joy of reading to children in need. Every book collected goes directly into the hands of families, empowering them to make reading a shared, daily experience. Reach Out and Read envisions a world where every child has the relationships essential to learn and thrive.

By participating in a book drive, you help make that vision a reality.
