United Way of Pickens announces Day of Reading

The community is invited to participate in the United Way of Pickens County’s first-ever Day of Reading by reading a story to young children. The Day of Reading is scheduled for July 23, from 9:30-10:30am at the Childcare Centers in Pickens County. Volunteers will be reading “Have You Filled a Bucket Today?” by Carol McCloud to kids aged 2-4 years old. The book will be provided to all volunteers in advance. A voluntary “reading” training will be held on July 21, at 9am at the United Way office, located at 201 South 5th Street, Suite 200 in Easley. For those volunteers who cannot attend the in-person training, a video training, along with written instructions, will be made available before July 23. You will be able to select the childcare center whose location is the most convenient for you. For more information or to sign up as a volunteer, call 864-850-7094 ext. 102.
