Ferst Foundation

The Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy

"Imagine the Possibilities" if every child in our community enters Kindergarten having been read to regularly by the most important teacher they will ever have - their parents.

In participating Georgia counties, each month, until age 5, a new book will be mailed directly to the registered child's home address.
