🎃🍬📚 SWEET TREATS & SWEETER READS! 📚🍬🎃

What a spooktacular time at the 4th Annual OceanFirst Foundation’s Candy-Coated Trunk-or-Treat! 👻🍭 We loved seeing kids light up as they picked out their very own books to take home! ❤️📚Nothing makes us happier than spreading the magic of reading and putting books into the hands of young readers! ✨

🍬 A little candy, a little Halloween fun, and a whole LOT of book love! 🎃📚💕Happy Reading to All!

“The kids were snatching the books down before we could even put them up!” - Ms. Samira Arias, English Dept. Chair, Empowerment Charter Academy. I doubt we could receive any better feedback about the impact of our books!

How about that spine-color coordinated bookshelf? 🧡💚💙💜

Still enjoying how much fun everyone had at our 4th 5k Run For Reading! Thank you to our Board and volunteers for bringing this event together. More importantly - thank you to everyone who registered and to those who came to support getting all kids across the finish line to literacy!

❤️📚 THIS IS WHAT IMPACT LOOKS LIKE. 📚❤️

To our incredible Run for Reading 5K sponsors, runners, and walkers—THANK YOU!

You didn’t just run. You didn’t just walk. You showed up for kids, for literacy, and for the belief that every child deserves books to call their own. ❤️👟📖

Our sponsors made this day possible. Our participants brought it to life. And together, you are helping to put books—and new possibilities—into the hands of children across New Jersey who need them most.

Every step mattered. Every dollar mattered. Every book matters.

We are so grateful to everyone who made this day unforgettable! ❤️
