Magazine Publishers Family Literacy Project

One of our most compelling stories involves the “Magazine Lady” delivering bundles to children and families in a Boston shelter. A homeless boy who didn’t like to read was handed a magazine by our outreach volunteer, Katie Simmons. The next time she visited, he ran to meet her exclaiming, “the Magazine Lady is here!”  The shelter reported that the boy was not only reading, but was now reading magazines to his sister. Now, that’s changing the world, one magazine at a time!
