All proceeds from this event go toward the Howard Mabe Literacy Fund* to support early literacy programs for over 2,000 young children in Stokes County in order to encourage the love of reading beginning at an early age.  Programs supported are:

• Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library  EVERY child under 5 years of age in Stokes County receives a free book EVERY month!  We launched this program in 2015 as a direct result of past proceeds from BBQ for Books. 

• Reach Out and Read  An evidence-based program that promotes early literacy and school readiness in the pediatric exam room of Pioneer Pediatric Clinic of Danbury by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud.

• Lending Library  Books are purchased to be available for check out by the public through the KidSource Child Care Resource and Referral Library in King.

• Little Folks Festival & Other Events  Books are given away at community events like our Little Folks Festival (Walnut Cove & King). Young children visit a school classroom during the event and get to take a book home for free.
