Jean Dean RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) is the signature service project of the AKF. Please support our Jean Dean RIF fundraiser today 2/2!

Jean Dean RIF was started over 20 years ago as a way for Kiwanians and friends of Kiwanis to provide quality, age-appropriate books to at-risk young children. For many of these children, their RIF book is the FIRST book in their homes! Kids in Head Starts, state sponsored day cares and other low income daycares get to pick three books during the year. Volunteers then read the book just chosen to the child before he or she takes it home to be "their" book and where they can share the pleasure of reading in their own family! Putting books in homes where there are none MAKES IT POSSIBLE to have family literacy. We need your help to keep this program serving every county in Alabama. One of our supporters has generously agreed to match up to $1000 given today through Alabama Gives to Jean Dean RIF. Please go to our JEAN DEAN RIF fundraiser and give today!
