Bake sale and tutor drive to benefit community literacy

The National Assessment of Adult Literacy, a study done by the National Center for Education Statistics in 2003, reported that 14% of adults in America could not read at a third grade level-that is 30 million people with below basic literacy skills. Ten years later, the number has grown to 36 million adults. Without literacy skills, these adults struggle to secure jobs, raise their families, and stay healthy.
