Your Company and KETC Can Team Up to Help Fight Illiteracy!

KETC brings children and families the unique initiative, Ready To Learn, designed to foster early literacy and school readiness in young children. Books are a critical component in the learning process and KETC targets children who are not likely to have their own books. Distributing new, free books is an important part of the battle to fight illiteracy. Your employees can help KETC make a difference in the St. Louis area by holding a book drive.

Here's what one company has to say about their experience with a KETC book drive:
"After participating in last year's KETC Channel 9-sponsored book drive, we were inspired to host another. We believe all children should have their very own books to read. Our employees thought the idea was important; and during our first drive we collected 379. The generosity of our employees combined with their enthusiasm and support helped us to obtain approximately 785 books during this last book drive! We are overjoyed and very pleased.

"The book drive was easy and fun. KETC was very cooperative and extremely helpful. Knowing that we helped to provide children with their very own books and took part in the preparation of school readiness is a very good feeling. We're still glowing!"  -Martha Latka at Maverick
