In 2014, Mesa County ranked 23rd out of the 25 largest counties in Colorado where 4th grade students are NOT proficient in reading. That's 35.6% of our 4th graders!
We are a 100% all volunteer nonprofit, so every dollar raised is used for mailing and purchasing books to local children! Each book costs $2.12. Just $26.00 will purchase a book a month for a child for an entire year!

Large size popcorn machine |
 |
|
We had use of a popcorn machine last year and popped corn three times a week for our students as an afterschool snack. Recently we had to give back the machine and would love to have it replaced. The kids loved the popcorn and we felt good as adults feeding them a healthier type snack. Thanks for your consideration. |
