On the first Thursday of each month, children can come to the shelter and read to the animals. This program is FREE. Children can bring their own books or choose from Literacy for Companionship's selection. Please check out our Facebook page for the listed events and to stay up to date. Each shelter may vary. LfC is tailored to the needs of the shelter. All first-time children receive a goodie bag. Each child will also receive a punch card. Once they fill their card up they can turn it in to pick a prize from our treasure chest and start a new one.
