Literacy is key to success in life. This starts at childhood when children are introduced to books. The situation is worsened by the fact that many children in America are not able to access books.

To make it easier for children to have more books, the Toys for Tots Literacy Program is partnering with The UPS Store. The UPS Store has delivered over 44 million books to their customers since 2008. Toys for Tots Literacy Program partners the UPS Stores in the United States. Both organizations are committed towards promoting literacy for all children.

“The pandemic has presented new barriers between children and the foundational life skill of literacy, hitting economically disadvantaged families the hardest,”Tim Davis, president of The UPS Store, Inc.

“The Toys for Tots Literacy Program is one impactful way we continue to support the communities we operate in, especially during challenging times. Our network of franchisees and customers are proud to help foster a love of books and learning through our continued commitment to this in-store donation program,”He insists.

Toys for Tots is the charity that provides holiday cheer to children in desperate need by giving them a toy. Toys for Tots is still committed to its holiday toys program but the organization has expanded its reach through the Toys for Tots Literacy Programme.

Toys for Tots Literacy Program aims to give economically disadvantaged children access to resources that can improve their reading skills and communication skills. Program staff work with local agencies to identify schools and organizations that will receive books donated by the program.

“We are incredibly thankful for all of the support this program has garnered over the years,”Lieutenant General Jim Laster (Retired USMC), is the President and CEO at Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

“The UPS Store continues to make it possible to support children nationwide in their literacy journey, especially amid the pandemic and for years to come,”He continues.
