With First Book, C&S launched “Food for the Body, Food for the Mind” in 2007. The initiative has targeted 7 communities and has placed 170,000 free, brand-new books into the hands of children who might not otherwise have books of their own
Our support to First Book is a long-term investment. We believe that improving literacy...inspiring children to love books and reading...leads to increased opportunities, better outcomes in school and in life, and decreased poverty.

“First Book and the heroes at C&S are changing children’s lives. This partnership, now in its second year, has given 170,000 beautiful books to children in need and provided permanent access to programs building bright futures. These books open worlds of imagination, adventure and joy. There is nothing more powerful than a book in the hands of a child and a great company that cares.”
