Reading is fundamental
Wayne-Westland Community School's Family Resource Center and the Red Wagon Summer Reading program was able to give children 500 books from Reading Is Fundamental thanks to a longstanding partnership with Macy's.
Funds were raised through the hard work of store associates promoting the joy of reading and the generosity of Macy's customers who responded by giving back in support of children's literacy in their community during the 2015 Be Book Smart campaign.
The Be Book Smart campaign encouraged Macy's customers coast-to-coast to give $3 to help provide books for children in their local communities. Through the program, customers received $10 off in-store purchases of $30 or more, plus 20 percent or 15 percent off storewide. Macy's donated 100 percent of every $3 to RIF.
In addition, the Family Resource Center and Red Wagon program will receive a multicultural Book Collection.
