This year’s recipients include Little Bulldogs Academy, York Day Nursery (York County School of Technology site), Christ Church Child Care Center and United Way’s Reach Out and Read Program. Your support will
provide children access to age-appropriate books in their homes with the intention of making reading a
family affair.
