12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Day Eight, Read to a Child
We all know reading to children is important for their development. Your Day Eight #12DaysOfChristmas Challenge – Read to a child. Children adore attention and encouragement. Plus reading to kids strengthens their reading skills and takes them on a journey of imagination. It will be fun to bond!
At Catholic Charities New York, strengthening families is part of our core mission. In any given year, about 200 children are adopted by loving families, nearly 4,000 children are placed in safe foster care, and about 46,500 children are enrolled in after-school and sports programs. Learn more about how we help children every day.
