Investing in the future, one page at a time! ๐Ÿ“š

Last week, United Way of St. Johns and Putnam Counties proudly presented $47,000 to support literacy initiatives across Putnam County School District.

Thanks to the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund at The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, this marks the second year of funding in a three-year grant that will expand access to books, enhance classroom reading resources, and strengthen literacy-focused programs that empower students to succeed.

Together with Putnam County School District, we remain committed to building a community where every child has the tools to learn, grow, and thrive. ๐Ÿ’™
