We place volunteers of all ages in child care centers, clinics and shelters to read one-on-one to children for 1-2 hours once a week.

Those children who reach their older years with weak basic skills are more likely to be involved in risk related activities such as teen parenthood, dropping out of school, and unemployment. However, by starting early and instilling a love of reading, therefore reduces these negative behaviors and promotes literacy.

St. Francis Hospital: The St. Francis Hospital Neurodiagnostics/Sleep Center is offering a free CPAP mask clinic every Wednesday. The clinic is held in the Center, which is located on the fifth floor of the DuPont Building at St. Francis Hospital, 7th and Clayton Streets, Wilmington. CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is the most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can occur when the tissue at the back of the throat collapses, and snoring ensues. The CPAP machine gently pushes room air through a mask at a prescribed pressure, which prevents the collapse. Proper fitting is imperative. If the mask does not fit properly, patients may not realize the benefits of better sleep and health. If your mask is uncomfortable, leaking or interfering with getting to sleep, please call the St. Francis Neurodiagnostics/Sleep Center at (302) 421-4500 for clinic times and availability.
