Look for the peel-off sticker found on Buddig Original or Deli Cuts packages to reveal promo codes and visit Eat Win Read for your chance to win.
Nestle’ Share the Joy of Reading Program
Here’s a sweet deal. The Nestle’ Share the Joy of Reading Program invites parents to enter a game code inside specially marked packages of Nestle’ and Wonka products. When you do, you could receive a $10 book certificate and be entered in a monthly drawing to win $5,000! And just for entering, Nestle’ will donate 10¢ to RIF.
Congress is Taking Action
Visit the RIF Advocacy Action Center to learn more about our current congressional outreach and to send a message to your Members of Congress with one easy click.
Your voice matters. Thanks to your outreach last year, Congress voted to award $28 million to national literacy organizations and school libraries through a new competitive grant process.
This critical action will help restore funds for books and literacy resources for children in need nationwide.
Guidelines for the competition will be established by the U.S. Department of Education and a timeline for the competition is not yet known. RIF hopes to be able to apply for funding through this new grant process.
THANK YOU to everyone who sent messages to Congress. Please continue to advocate for children’s literacy with your representatives.
