A little everyday magic captured at Los Angeles Air Force Base!✨

Recently, Southern California Area Manager Chrystal Lewis shared a special storytime with a few of UTR’s newest fans—and she loved every minute of it!

Through our community events and Mobile Story Stations, we bring books, recording opportunities, and connection directly to military families in communities across the country. 🚐✨

A special thank you to Don & Lorraine Freeberg Foundation for supporting our work in Los Angeles County. We are so grateful for your partnership!

On Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who gave everything in service to our country. We also hold close the families and loved ones who continue to carry their story and legacy every day.

Today, may we pause with gratitude, reflect on their sacrifice, and never forget.

Our Stories & Spirits Event in North Carolina last week brought the community together to learn about UTR’s work with military families and the power of shared storytime. Held at Hallingwhiskey ’s BHAWK Distillery, it was an intimate evening filled with good people, honest conversations, and stories that spoke to the heart.

We’re very grateful to everyone who joined us and made the evening so special. ❤️

🚐📚🎉We’re so excited to announce we will be adding a third Mobile Story Station (MSS) very soon…

Thanks to the incredible support we received during Giving Tuesday 2025, we were able to fund our third MSS! This will help us reach so many more military communities across the country.

HUGE thanks to the Ripples 4Ever Fund, Sunbelt Rentals , and the UTR Board of Trustees for providing a match for donors like you who made this possible. Thank you, all! We’re so grateful for your support 💙

Now for the fun part – wrapping the van in full UTR style, outfitting the recording space, and decking it out for community events. Stay tuned for updates.

The magic of nonprofit work is found in the people we meet along the way. ✨

Last week, we gathered with our incredible friends and partners at our 2nd Annual Book Tasting event, sponsored by the Association of the United States Army - AUSA National to celebrate shared storytime, introduce the 2026 Book for the Military Child, and strengthen our support for military families.

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us. ❤️

To our military spouse community: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your heart.
