Ready4ReadingBookClub A Project of High Desert Community Foundation 501 C (3) 84-1179212
Mission
The Ready 4 Reading Book Club's long-term mission is to create a community where disadvantaged children's literacy needs are
met. For effective long-term community improvement, we will work to increase the general public's awareness of the literacy
and health problems that affect disadvantaged children and their families. Also, it is important to educate the public about the high cost to taxpayers when illiteracy is not addressed and its long-term effect on the community. We will also ensure that children in the community have access to books through food programs, shelters, and any place they receive food, clothing, or shelter.
