SOUTH BALDWIN LITERACY COUNCIL

The South Baldwin Literacy Council has partnered with Foley Highschool to launch an incredible expansion of our already thriving English as a Second Language (ESL) Program.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council celebrated all of our 125 volunteers with a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at Wolfe Bay Restaurant. We were able to provide services to 1,412 youth and adult students! We also were able to put 14,243 books in the hands of our community and 19,896 volunteer hours were logged! 2023 was a HUGE success.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council hosted its Annual Polar Express event at Foley's Heritage Park partnered with the Copper Kettle TeaBar. Dr. Robert Williams, a loyal tutor and board member, led a night full of wonder by reading The Polar Express to an audience of over one hundred students and their families. Even Santa and Mrs. Claus got an invitation! Each student received a beautifully illustrated edition of The Polar Express to take home to enjoy with their families for years to come.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council spent a spooky afternoon celebrating this Halloween season at Foley Public Library's Annual Halloween Extravaganza. We showed up as a true team to shoot some hoops, pass out candy, and to give away over 1750 books to community members!
