United Through Reading

United Through Reading strengthens military families’ literacy, emotional bonds, and well-being through the power of reading together at every age, no matter the distance. The TowerCares grant will support Advancement and Family Connection for Military Children, which enhances military children’s educational development by providing new, high-quality children’s books to military households and capturing story time videos read by service members for their children to view. Funds will be used to purchase age-appropriate books. United Through Reading works with the Fort Meade military installation and partner organizations to identify and secure opportunities to distribute the books and provide the story time recordings. The charity serves approximately 150 families in the Fort Meade, Md. area.
