R.J. serves on the Board of the Marion County Literacy Council. Your gift to the Literacy Council will lift up the only organization in Ocala and Marion County that provides one-on-one, personalized instructional support for adults in our community who are learning to read and write, working to earn their GED, and aspiring to become more capable, more confident speakers of English so that they can build better, happier lives for themselves and for their families.
By giving to the Literacy Council, you are helping people change their lives and the lives of their children. You are helping people break generational cycles of poverty and hopelessness. You are helping people gain tools that will help them beat addiction, stay out of prison, and find better, more stable jobs. I can think of no nobler, more important work. You are doing that. You are that change for hundreds of women and men every year. What a cool birthday gift.
