BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Sunlight Giving supports organizations that create and maintain safe spaces for children and families, and has a particular interest in ensuring that safe places are offered in all neighborhoods and communities. Their mission is to sustain healthy families and strong communities.

The Early Literacy Reading Room project will not be implemented.

These grant funds will create a warm, inviting place for the 400 or so 0-5 aged children of North Richmond to learn early literacy skills through unstructured play and reading.
