Quilted with Love
COMMUNITY LITERACY FOUNDATION TO HOST ONLINE BABY QUILT AUCTION
Beginning February 1, the Community Literacy Foundation will host “Quilted with Love,” a month-long online baby quilt auction. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Foundation’s Rooted in Reading project. Rooted in Reading is a community initiative that provides books to local pediatrician offices to be distributed at the baby’s one-month wellness visit. This initiative aims to educate new parents on the benefits of reading to their children beginning in infancy. By gifting a book to each newborn and their families, the Community Literacy Foundation upholds its mission of instilling and increasing a love of reading for community members of all ages.
