January 2 – February 28. Adults, teens and children can all join our Read-a-Thon to help raise awareness of global poverty and hunger. Proceeds will benefit Maureen’s Haven, a local homeless outreach program. Here’s how sponsorship will work:

• Adults and teens ask sponsors to pledge $5.00 per book read

• Children grades 3-6: $1.00 for every hour spent reading

• Children from birth-2nd grade: $1.00 per 5 books read
