Spreading Sunshine, Smiles, and Books Across the Mississippi Gulf Coast!
Goodwill Reads is a new Goodwill of South Mississippi program that promotes early literacy across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We collect children’s books, visit classrooms to read with students, and give each child a book with their name on it to take home. With the help of volunteers and community partners, we’re creating fun reading experiences that build confidence and a lifelong love of learning.

We’d love to have you involved! Here are a few ways you can support Goodwill Reads:

Every contribution helps us put books into the hands of local children and spread a love of reading across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
