Give the Gift of Storytime Every Month!
Every child deserves to be read to by someone they love. Shared reading strengthens bonds, eases stress, builds confidence, and sparks a lifelong love of books. When families read together, children thrive.
Each year, more than 100,000 military families face separation, making nightly storytime impossible for many. Your monthly support ensures that connection doesn’t disappear when duty calls.
Just $25 a month connects ten military families a year with the comfort of shared stories—helping children feel close to their loved ones no matter the distance.
Give the gift of storytime today and help military families stay connected through the magic of reading.

"As the daughter of a Marine, I know firsthand the importance of a connection between a child and a deployed parent. A video of a parent reading a favorite book is a heartwarming connection to a loved child. My passion for books, reading, and pride in our US Armed Forces inspire me to be a member of THE BRIDGE."
