Atlanta News First delivers Books to Kids at Humphries Elementary
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Atlanta News First delivered books to kids at Humphries Elementary on Wednesday.
The mission is to tackle Georgia’s growing literacy crisis by providing books and resources to K-5 students in underperforming schools across metro Atlanta.
“It’s the building blocks for the future, for their school careers, and their careers,” said Reina Jones with Delta Community Credit Union, a sponsor for Books to Kids.
Our team of anchors and meteorologists handed out books to Humphries Elementary students on Wednesday in an effort to encourage young learners to read.

During each visit, students received a backpack with five books.
The Books to Kids initiative started in 2018. Since then, more than 95,000 books have been handed out to children in the metro Atlanta community.
We can’t do this without the help of our sponsors: Ken Nugent – Attorneys at Law; Troncalli Subaru & Subaru of Kennesaw; Delta Community Credit Union; McDonald’s; Page Turners Make Great Learners; Two Men and A Truck; Georgia State University; and the Georgia Department of Education.
“We’re here because we want to make the greatest impact in all of our communities where our restaurants sit,” said McDonald’s owner and operator Donte Cleaves.
