HAMPTON ROADS, Va. — Since 2016, the “If You Give a Child a Book" campaign has tried to get as many books as possible into the hands of kids who otherwise can’t afford them.
WTKR's mission is to work with the community in getting books in the hands and homes of hundreds of children across the region.
And from now until March 30, donations are being accepted in order to make this happen!
A donation of $5 helps buy one book for a child in need.
You can be taken to the donation page by clicking here.
Additionally, in honor of National Reading Month, WTKR personnel created a special read-along video. This year, we read the book "More than Peach" by Bellen Woodard. Watch the video below and enjoy reading along!
With your help, we were able to raise $12,519 in total for our ‘If You Give a Child a Book…’ campaign! At $5 for one book, that's just over 2,500 books for children in our area!
