We're passionate about fostering a brighter future for St. Louis by empowering children with the gifts of literacy and good nutrition. This commitment shines through work in St. Louis Public Schools, the exciting Story Spark Camp, and partnerships with dedicated organizations like Ready Readers. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to read, learn, and succeed.
