"Reading for Others" Service Project

     The "Reading for Others" Service Project is a reading incentive project to motivate Need to Read Book Club members to read as much as possible over a 2 month period. Through a sponsored reading program, members earn money to buy and distribute new books to children in need. The more the kids read, the more money they earn, and the more books they distribute to others. This program proves to kids that their reading truly makes a difference! Our hope is to buy hundreds of books for children at the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen, the Spartanburg Children Shelter, and the Boys and Girls Club this spring.

If you... would like to encourage reading for a Need to Read Book Club chapter, you can make a donation or sponsor money for a certain amount of pages read over the next two months. Your money will not only encourage reading among the club members, but will encourage children in need in the community to read by getting them brand new books of their very own. For more information, please contact:

Great Success!   We had more than 50 people at the "Reading for Others" Service Rally in February. Now, kids in 3 chapters of the Need to Read Book Club are busy reading in order to buy new books for other kids who are in need. Thank you to all of our guest speakers whose inspiring words were a great encouragement!
