Take Archway cookies to your next book discussion


http://www.archwaycookies.com/sharethegoodness/


Share the Goodness of reading with others. Help us donate 10,000 new books through First Book to children in need by purchasing Archway Cookies through July 9. Archway will donate $0.10 per package with a maximum of $23,500 in support of First Book.

We've all heard (and most likely experienced) that reading is core to a child's ability to succeed in school. Yet the majority of low-income families do not have a single book for their children, with price being the number one barrier to book ownership. Currently, more than 30 million U.S. children live in low-income households with many not having even one book of their own. You can help us ensure that every child can experience the joy of owning and reading a book.

Archway is partnering with First Book to donate 10,000 NEW books like the Cat in the Hat, the Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid to children who need them most.

You can help us reach our goal of providing 10,000 books to children in need with your purchase of Archway cookies from June 1 until July 15. Archway will donate $0.10 per package with a maximum of $23,500 in support of First Book.

First Book is a national nonprofit organization with a single mission: to give disadvantaged children the opportunity to read and own new books. First Book works with existing literacy programs to distribute new books to needy children by providing them with first books. The organization was founded in 1992 and since then over 80 million books have been donated.
