The Heart of America Foundation READesign^SM

We believe that being able to read is a key skill for our children.  A love of reading exposes them to a world beyond the one in which they live each day, encouraging them to dream new dreams for themselves. We partner with The Heart of America Foundation to put books into the hands of children in low-income communities and to create safe, inviting libraries in their schools.

Through The Heart of America Foundation READesign^SM program, our philanthropic dollars and associate volunteers transform school libraries into areas that engage children’s imagination and encourage them to read.  Dull, uninviting spaces become vibrant with paint, murals, or original paintings by a Disney artist; new furniture; and 1,000 new books, including books that promote financial literacy. 

During Literacy Month each March, our associates donate books and make financial contributions to The Heart of America Foundation, furthering our effort to foster a love of reading in our children that will last a lifetime.
