A small donation of just $10 can help Erie Family Health Center provide three books to kids in their Reach out and Read program.
Erie Evanston/Skokie Health Center is purchasing children’s books as part of their new initiative, Reach out and Read. This innovative program utilizes doctors and other medical staff to talk to parents about the importance of reading aloud to their children. To help accomplish this, they are working to provide developmentally appropriate books. Erie will also make children’s books available in the health center waiting area.
