Last week, Abshire PR was thrilled to volunteer for the United Way of the Coastal Empire’s Read United Campaign! Throughout the week, volunteers visited 60 schools to read to nearly 1,000 classrooms and distribute almost 20,000 books to students across the Coastal Empire.

For those unfamiliar with the initiative, Read United is a year-round series of programs that aim to improve early language and childhood literacy. Originally known as “Read Across Liberty” this program served students within Liberty County and Fort Stewart between 2014 and 2020. However, due to the generosity of sponsors and donors, United Way has expanded to now serve students throughout schools in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, and Liberty counties.

We can’t wait to do it again next year!
