“Peery Foundation is excited to partner with 10 Books A Home. The organization is addressing a really critical need and doing what no one else is doing in the community. The program offers access to quality early education and engagement for the whole family. It is making a profound impact on 3- to 5-year-olds, their siblings, and parents. It could be surprising to some that an organization can deliver its program through volunteers just as effectively as it would through paid professional tutors.”
