COVID-19 Education Challenge

With the closure of libraries, schools, and public institutions due to COVID-19, the value add of our organization has never been more evident. The COVID-19 education challenge will provide FREE books, guided reading instructions, and the opportunity to enter a drawing for a FREE bike. We will deliver 3-5 books to children in need in Springfield and Dayton. Due to COVID-19, this will be a non-contact delivery. We encourage ALL individuals to participate in the DCR Education Challenge even if you do not need our organization to provide books. If interested, complete the information below and we will follow-up with future details while supplies last.
