WHY DONATE?
Partnerships in our community enable us to continue our mission to provide free instruction to adults with low English literacy skills.

As the Adult Reading Center entered its 18th year of operation, the Board of Directors took a serious look at our methods of raising funds for the Center. In reviewing where our funds are generated, we found that more than one-half comes from local individuals, businesses, and organizations. Therefore, to recognize those donors we have established Bridging the Gap to Literacy. We have used that “bridge theme” in the level of giving categories.

Want to send a check? Checks should be made payable to the Adult Reading Center and can be mailed to 2246 N. Washington Avenue, Pearland, TX 77581.
