We are thrilled to be able to provide hundreds of books to the students and support the Field Day for a second year in a row! We strive to empower all children through literacy, and giving them the opportunity to choose a book that speaks to them is critical in that journey!

We LOVE our community, and United Way of Greater Central Michigan supports this community each and every day! Thank you for your continued support for literacy and access to books in our region.

Fund Fact Friday: United Way was proud to support the Sleepy Dog Books Foundation by providing a recent matching grant! We were able to double the impact by maximizing a generous contribution of $10,000—resulting in a $20,000 matching grant to help support their work in our community.
