All first grade classrooms in public schools across the county are visited each month by an Altrusa member who reads to the students and gives each student a book to take home.
Over 1,100 books are placed in the hands of students each month with this First Read to Succeed project. Altrusa sponsors two Little Free Libraries in the county, downtown and at Third Street Family Services.
Financial support is given to Mansfield and Madison adult education programs, and a graduating senior in Mansfield City Schools receives a scholarship to help support advanced education.
