Support Our Work
Through the generous support of individuals like you, United Through Reading continues to strengthen connections among military families across the nation and around the world.
This year alone, we have served more than 320,000 military family members and distributed approximately 80,000 books worldwide.
These numbers represent countless moments of connection: a child hearing their deployed parent’s voice reading a favorite bedtime story, a family discovering new books that spark imagination and conversation, and a military spouse finding comfort and tradition during times of separation. Your support makes these special moments possible.
How your dollars make a difference:
• Provide children’s books to be distributed to military families
• Keep our Mobile Story Stations on the road—bringing literacy resources and in-person support directly to communities
• Enhance and maintain the UTR App, our primary platform for sharing stories across the miles
• Develop new and responsive resources to meet the evolving needs of today’s military families
“Thank you to United Through Reading for 22 years of amazing help with our children while my husband was deployed. We still have videos of him reading books to our kids, and they got to watch them over and over, it was a blessing to our family.”
– Rebecca Sipe, Navy Spouse
Since 1989, United Through Reading has connected over 3.3 million military family members through the power of reading together, no matter the distance thanks to supporters just like you. Help us continue to support military and Veteran families stay connected during times of separating, whether for military training, deployments, temporary duty away from home, or otherwise. United Through Reading is there to help military and veteran families always be reading ready.
