We are so grateful for Liliana, for her love for reading and her heart for our community! Congratulations!!

Meet Lilliana Scott, our Little Free Library steward. This school year, she has been restocking each library, rotating books, and reporting any issues as they arise.

We are so thankful for her time and dedication.

Additionally, we congratulate her for her recent accomplishments as she just received the Morehead-Cain Scholarship at UNC- Chapel Hill, an incredible achievement! 🩵

Way to go Liliana!

We love helping kids and their families develop a love for reading! So grateful
to everyone who supports Feeding Kids Cleveland County and Reading Kids Cleveland Co. with this mission!

We asked the families we serve how the books given at school break deliveries impact their children.

Here are some of their incredible responses:

"They read every single book they have received and they love them all. They have helped us as a family bond through reading time."

"We now read every night and my oldest is starting to read more."

"My children love reading. They get really excited to find out what new books they will receive each delivery."

"Our children all enjoy the books and it's a nice surprise for them."

The books we give are TRULY making a difference in the lives of children and families right here in Cleveland County.

When you support Feeding Kids and our Reading Kids branch, you are improving literacy rates, increasing exposure to high quality reading materials, providing permanent access to books, and SO MUCH MORE.

Did you know that up to 61% of low-income families do not have any books in their homes?

With our Reading Kids initiative, we are helping to change this statistic here in Cleveland County by making sure each student and child per family we serve gets one age-appropriate book and one family book 6+ times a year, building their in-home libraries and increasing literacy rates.

To maintain this branch of our work, we are always collecting NEW and GENTLY USED reading materials - any age level, but particularly baby board books, middle school, and high school books. If you would like to contribute any reading materials or host a book drive, please let us know by emailing us at [email protected] today.

You can also shop our Walmart and Amazon wish lists by visiting our website at feedingkidscc.org today!

A wonderful end-of-summer delivery day!

🎉 That’s a wrap on our final summer food & book delivery of 2025!

Today, over 60 amazing volunteer teams showed up in the heat to deliver food to 270+ families across Cleveland County. With kids home and temps rising, this food has been a lifeline—and your generosity made it happen.

💛 THANK YOU to every driver, donor, and supporter who made this summer possible. Now… let’s gear up for Thanksgiving 2025—we’ll need your help again soon! Stay tuned!
