"Literacy forms an important cornerstone for economic success"
"LSW is enhancing the lives of all of us by enabling those in our community who cannot read with the gift of literacy. Literacy forms an important cornerstone for economic success. We are proud to support LSW in it's efforts to enable full participation in our society by providing the tools to read." -Don & Mary Jo Layden
We are a strong and vibrant organization because of ALL the people who have made us that way, and we deeply appreciate these significant gifts.
In addition to funding, we are always looking for new and gently used books for us to sell at our annual book sale fundraiser. If you are unable to drop the books off here during normal business hours, please contact Mark Neufang at mark@literacyservices.org or by phone at (414) 344-5878.
Many of our students are also in need of reading glasses to assist their learning. Reading glasses can be donated year round by stopping by during normal business hours.
