Give the Gift Of Literacy
Written By: Anna Norton, The Literacy and Learning Center | Issue: December 2024
This holiday season, consider gifting the priceless gift of lifelong learning – The Literacy & Learning Center and its young charges could use your support.
The Literacy & Learning Center is a beacon of hope, illuminating minds and empowering individuals through education. By supporting TL&LC, you’re not just donating; you’re investing in the future of our community.
How can you contribute?
Donate: Your generous donation, no matter the amount, will fuel TL&LC’s diverse youth and adult programs, ensuring that education remains accessible to all. Your contribution will directly support programs, including:
• Macon County Dolly Parton Imagination Library: For just $30 a year, you can sponsor a child and provide them with a year’s worth of books. Imagine the joy on a child’s face as they receive a personalized book each month, inspiring a lifelong love of reading.
• Pre-K: Our early childhood education program provides a strong foundation for young learners, preparing them for future academic success.
• After-School: Offering a safe and nurturing environment, After-school Enrichment and Homework Helpers provide homework help, tutoring, and engaging activities to support students’ academic and social development.
• Summer Camps: Elementary school students are provided outdoor activities, skill development, and social interaction in fun and engaging ways.
• Adult Literacy: These programs empower adults to reach their full potential by offering individual tutoring, GED preparation, and English as a second language learning opportunities.
Corporate Sponsorships play a crucial role in supporting TL&LC’s mission. By becoming one of Dolly’s Literacy Leaders, your company can enjoy sponsor benefits while supporting a love of reading through the Macon County Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
Volunteer: Your time and talents are invaluable. Share them by volunteering in our after-school programs, tutoring students, or assisting with special events. Your dedication will make a significant difference in the lives of our students.
Spread the Word: Share TL&LC’s mission with your friends, family, and colleagues. Please encourage them to support our cause through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness.
