We delivered over 1,300 children's books to the Madison Regional Head Start Center, creating home libraries of at least 10 books for every student. Any additional books were made available to stock classrooms or support children with greater needs, ensuring that every child at the center has access to engaging stories and early literacy resources.

We are grateful to BookSmiles for their generous support of Delco Books for a Brighter Start. Their contribution more than doubled our inventory at the time of their donation, allowing us to aim higher and reach more children in need.

Delco Books for a Brighter Start officially began its mission to provide children in low-income households with access to books and home libraries. Within just a couple of weeks, we had managed to collect over 1,000 books. From the very first book collected, the goal has been to close the literacy gap and inspire a lifelong love of reading.
