[COMPANY NAME] is holding a book drive to benefit Lead to Read KC, a local nonprofit that activates the community in service of early literacy. Lead to Read KC distributes more than 3,000 books per month to children in high-need communities throughout the metropolitan area – increasing book access and encouraging children to read.
