Literacy Connects

We didn't want this week to end before taking a moment to thank all of our teachers out there! 🌟Our brilliant educators are the backbone of LC and our Tucson community, we are beyond grateful for everything they do.

Wishing you all a Happy Teachers Appreciation Week!🍎

Literacy Connects is honored to be selected as a 2026 Community Impact Grant recipient by OneAZ Credit Union and the OneAZ Community Foundation, receiving a $7,500 award in celebration of OneAZ’s 75th anniversary of serving Arizonans.💜

Since 2016, the OneAZ Community Foundation has provided more than $3.5 million in funding to nonprofits working to strengthen communities across Arizona. 🌵

This year, $360,000 in Community Impact Grants were distributed to 48 local nonprofits—thanks to OneAZ members who support their communities with every swipe. Each purchase contributes one penny to the OneAZ Community Foundation to help fund grants like ours.

This generous support allows Literacy Connects to continue making an impact through our mission to connect people of all ages to a world of opportunities through literacy and creative expression. 🤝

Currently, reminiscing about Get Connected: Solid Gold Edition! Phew! What a night 🪩✨ We laughed, we cried, we danced and most importantly, we CONNECTED! Thank you everyone for making this night SO special and showing up to support our mission.

See you again next year 🌟
