TEPF Books for Kids Program
The gift of literacy and books to call their own
Unfortunately, there is a growing number of Canadian children living in lower income families where food and shelter needs take priority over learning and books in the home. Learning can’t happen without the tools and resources needed to acquire the skill. In addition, due to budget reductions and changes, public education programs continue to be underfunded and/or cut.
In response to this growing need in our community for books TEPF has launched the new Books for Kids Program. Statistics show that literacy and education are cornerstones to success in life. TEPF is proud to be able to supply books to children who need them most.
Books for Kids Calgary sponsored by Calgary Flames will be providing books to identified higher needs schools in Calgary.
Books for Kids Sturgeon County sponsored by North West Redwater Partnership will be providing books to all grade 3 students in the Sturgeon County area and Alexander First Nation.
