We were thrilled to welcome a representative from the office of Congresswoman Kat Cammack, who stopped by the Early Learning Coalition of Florida's Gateway to drop off a generous donation of children's books for our community giveaway. Books have the power to open doors, spark curiosity, and change lives, and this contribution helps us put more of them in the hands of the children who need them most.

As our CEO LaShone T. Surrency says, every book is an opportunity, and we are proud to help get these into the right hands. On behalf of the entire Early Learning Coalition of Florida's Gateway team, she extends her heartfelt thanks to Congresswoman Cammack and her office for this thoughtful gesture and their continued investment in our community.
