Dear Friends of The Literacy Center,
These are trying times. More and more members of our community are facing financial and health challenges.
The staff of The Literacy Center are working around the clock to provide support to our students, their families, and to our volunteers in need – and many other organizations in our community are doing the same.
We are all in this together.
Because of that, we are very excited to announce that The Literacy Center has joined forces with other local nonprofits to form the Greater Attleboro Stronger Together Fund to support our community’s most vulnerable individuals and families through the COVID-19 crisis.
This fund aims to raise $1.5 million by the end of April in an effort to provide critically needed support to organizations in our community. The Fund is well on its way toward this goal, but we need your help.
Over the past month, as the world has closed down around us, Attleboro area nonprofits have sprung into action.
While some have responded to our community’s needs by providing meals and food supplies, others have provided emergency cash relief, childcare for essential workers, counseling services for the isolated, unemployment assistance to those who have lost their jobs, and much more.
When these organizations collaborate and bring all of their unique strengths to the table, their collective impact on the community is magnified. As this Fund intends to prove, we are all stronger together.
Starting Monday, April 20 th , we’re launching a one-week community drive to support the Greater Attleboro Stronger Together Fund. 100% of your gift will be distributed to organizations who are providing cash assistance to families in need, and to organizations that are in need of funds to continue their important missions.
We would greatly appreciate your support.
Your gift to the fund will help local nonprofits support individuals and families during these uncertain times and help ensure that they’re able to continue their missions after the crisis has subsided.
If you are able to give, now is the time. Your community needs you and we are stronger together. The formal campaign kicks off on Monday, but donations are being accepted right now at

Anything you can give is meaningful
Thank you for being a dedicated supporter of The Literacy Center and our mission to enhance lives and support self-sufficiency. We are proud to be a part of this community.
May you be well,
Amanda Blount
Executive Director
