Supported by the UPS Store, the charity’s Literacy Program is intended to help the most
disadvantaged children by offering access to books and other resources that allow them
to develop their reading skills to the point where they are capable of competing
academically. On its website it quotes statistics from the National Center for Children in
Poverty noting that 16 million children in the U.S. are living in poverty, and pointing
towards literacy as one of the core academic skills that can help children work towards
better futures.
