Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy Reserve! For 110 years, Navy Reservists have served our Nation with courage, honor, and commitment, standing “Ready Now. Anytime, Anywhere.”

Happy Read Across America Day! ???? -- Today, we celebrate the life-changing power that literacy has in a child's life. In the U.S., one in four children grow up unable to read proficiently, which affects their ability to learn, connect with peers, and thrive in the workplace later in life.? At Toys for Tots, we believe that literacy is a key tool in breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a brighter future for children across the Nation. Our Literacy Program ensures that children living in low-income communities or attending Title I funded schools have access to age-appropriate books and educational materials. -- To date, our Literacy Program has provided over 60 million books to children in need since its inception in 2008. Please join us in supporting this cause and help deliver the gift of literacy to children across our great Nation! ?? Together, we can make a difference!: https://lnkd.in/dqPErpqd?? ?#ReadAcrossAmerica #LiteracyProgram #MarchIntoReading #NationalReadingMonth #UnplugAndRead

Can you believe that February is almost over and we’re already racing into month number three? ????? Speaking of racing… and the number three… did you know our friends at Richard Childress Racing help spotlight our year-round programs supporting children in need? — Not only are they incredible supporters of our National programs, and their local chapters, but with Austin Dillon and his No. 3 Toys for Tots Chevrolet, they also help “drive home” a powerful message of hope and joy. We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with RCR this year. — Be sure to visit the RCR Museum online store to pick up your Toys for Tots gear.
