Help Winnebago Area Literacy Council eliminate barriers to learning by contributing today:

Every gift directly impacts our learners and helps us achieve our mission to strengthen our diverse community by developing and delivering free learner-centered literacy programs for adults and their families. We are proud to say that 92.7% of the donations we receive go straight to programming!

The community we serve is growing quickly this year, and we would love to hire more teachers and provide more classes.
