Your Gift Helps Kids Read

Four children lying on the grass together, reading a book outside on a sunny day.

Every Reader Gets Us Closer.

In Winnebago County, nearly 1 in 2 third-graders isn't reading at grade level. That gap doesn't close by accident.

United Way Rock River Valley is working toward a Bold Goal: 75% of Winnebago County third-graders reading at grade level by 2034. Your gift is how we get there.
