Katy Kurtz hasn't added a story.
My name is Katy Kurtz and my husband, Jon and I were born and raised in the Ohio Valley. We moved back to Wheeling to give our kids the chance to grow up closer to family. When we moved home, I had a yearning to be involved in our community, and I'm able to do that as an Educational Services Representative with Usborne Books & More.
We are facing a world-wide crisis like never before. When this pandemic hit, I immediately wanted to give back but wasn't sure how. Friends of mine were holding book drives in their hometowns and I thought, how amazing would it be to give these kids brand new books while they're out of school to go with the food that Ohio County Schools is giving out each week!
One of the greatest impacts on families right now is the lack of access to books. Parents have stepped up to the plate in an incredible way to provide education to their kids within their homes. And while they are doing their best to adapt to this “new normal”, with schools and libraries closed, they are struggling to get their hands on the materials they need.
This is where "Feed and Read: Share Love Through Literacy for Ohio County Schools" comes in. We get to provide books for families who may not be able to afford them right now. Not only does book ownership support children’s education, it also helps to:
- reduce stress within the home
- keep the use of technology at an appropriate level
- give parents some quiet time
- allow kids to “travel the world” within a book
We need your help! Please share this with your family and friends. When you make a financial donation to our cause, it will be matched by 50% by Usborne Books & More, and you are putting books directly into the homes of kids who need them most.
Are you ready to jump in and Spread Love through Literacy for Ohio County Schools?
