The Power of Partnerships
Reach Out and Read Oregon could not serve the tens of thousands of families it does annually without the help of generous corporate, foundation, individual and government partners. We are grateful to every individual and entity that helps us fulfill our mission to give young children a foundation for success by incorporating books into pediatric care and encouraging families to read aloud together.
We want to hear from you!
