In celebration of National Reading Month this March, Erie Family Health Centers is excited to bring back Reach Out, Read Out! Virtual Storytime Series and Fundraising Drive, featuring friends and members of our Erie community. All funds raised support the Reach Out and Read program that provides high-quality, age- and language- appropriate books to patients six months to 6 years old.
