David Baldacci’s initiative has distributed over 1 million books through food banks

 David and Michelle Baldacci launched Feeding Body & Mind as a dual initiative to tackle food insecurity and improve literacy rates. This program gathers and disperses books through local food banks, allowing over a million families the opportunity to take home reading materials. By linking food support with literacy resources, it empowers families to enhance their reading skills and underscores the critical need for accessible literature in challenging times. David and Michelle Baldacci launched Feeding Body & Mind as a dual initiative to tackle food insecurity and improve literacy rates.
