The organization is dedicated to helping children (K-5th grade) and their families through education and reading services.

As an after-school program, Kids Soar focuses on ending the cycle of poverty through literacy education. When the pandemic started back in March, Kids Soar not only became a food pantry for the community, it created a new program, Book Buddies. Then, once a week, the child reads to their book buddy via phone, Zoom, Facetime or even Facebook, whatever works for the family and volunteer. There are about 30 kids signed up for the Book Buddy program but Kids Soar is looking to reach more young readers. For more information on Kids Soar and their new location, visit its website.

Finding unique ways to engage the minds of our little ones can be a challenge, but Kids Soar has the perfect activity that doubles as a fundraiser you don't want to miss. Bridget and Lindsey give this fun activity a try and speak with Maria Fox and Candace Hess from Kids Soar about details. Copyright 2019 by WSLS 10 - All rights reserved.
