Altrusa International of St Paul

     Bringing the Love of Reading to All!

Thank you so much for all your continued support! Because of GTMD last year and all your support we were able to increase the amount of books we get into kiddos hands where they can be read and loved! Altrusa International of St Paul can continue to support children in their journey to literacy. We were able to double the books that we gave at our quarterly book fairs. We doubled our impact at the St Paul Farmer's Market for our first Healthy Eating Healthy Reading book give away. Thanks so much for your support last year and cheers to another wonderful year. 

Let's do even more this year! Minnesota is in a "state of emergency regarding literacy". In 2019, only 32% of Black 4th graders and 34% of Hispanic 4th graders were meeting reading proficiency measures leaving "tens of thousands of our students seriously at risk if we don't address literacy". Altrusa International of St Paul wants to change this. With your help, Altrusa International of St Paul can get books into the hands of children in need.  This year, we are hoping to raise $3,000 so we can double the amount and help even more children. If reading is your passion or you have young children at home who love to read then find it in your heart to give a few dollars.  Thank you so much for making a difference in the lives of young children!
