Help us secure every County kid’s right to enjoy the benefits of their very own books! There are many ways you can help ensure the essential services we provide continue for, and in partnership with, our community for years to come.

“The first visit of the year with a new class is so moving. The students, mostly those from homes where the purchase of books is simply not possible, cannot believe they get to keep the books forever. By supporting initiatives like County Kids Read, you can truly make a difference in the lives of our students and promote a culture of literacy and learning in Prince Edward County.”

- Teresa Mason, Grade 2 teacher at PECI -

collect new book/cash donations on our behalf

Friend of CKR Tonja Buder with the dozens of books she collected for County Kids Read at an event.

We are continually floored by the generosity of community members who take the initiative to support County Kids Read in creative ways. So far, we’ve had friends of CKR:

  • Ask for donations to CKR from friends and family in lieu of birthday gifts

  • Ask their Holiday Party guests to bring donations of new books for CKR

  • Include a fundraising campaign for CKR as part of their Marathon and Triathlon efforts

There are so many possibilities! We would be more than happy to support these efforts. Please send any inquiries to Andrea at giving@countykidsread.ca.
