“Dollar General is very passionate about its mission of Serving Others, and we are all excited to surprise Sea Isle Elementary with a donation to further their reading and literacy programs,” said June Nwabara, Dollar General’s region director. “We hope this donation will help equip the school with the tools and resources it needs to improve the learning experience for students.”
The donation from Dollar General is part of its Reading Revolution program. The program aims to provide schools with additional resources to purchase books, computers and other educational supplies to enhance their reading and literacy programs. Since its inception in 2013, the program has provided more than $2.3 million to schools.
“Through our charitable outreach, we strive to make a real and lasting impact on children and families, said Denine Torr, Dollar General’s senior director of community initiatives. “We believe the one gift that lasts a lifetime and provides individuals with the opportunity for a better future is the ability to read well. We hope this gift will help inspire a love of reading, which will make such a difference for these students as they progress with their education.”
