Can you spare an hour a week? Consider spending it reading with third graders! They, and United Way of Cen IN, need your help! indystar.com/story/news/edu…

#PayItForward: United Way of Cen IN’s The ReadUp program is in need of volunteers! The program aims to give elementary students practice to improve their reading. They say they are seeing more kids further behind in reading skills.

Thinking of all my former The Virginian-Pilot colleagues covering the mass shooting in Chesapeake.
