Join United Way of East Central Iowa for a conversation to champion commUNITY in Vinton and Benton County. Parents and children are invited to a story time reading of “Same, Same but Different” about how children around the world are more alike than they are different. Following the reading, families will discuss how they can listen, learn, and use their words to create a commUNITY where children and adults feel included and welcome. Participants will receive a CommUNITY Literacy Kit with their own copy of “Same, Same but Different” by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw and “Say Something” by Peter H. Reynolds along with age-appropriate activities, and parent resources. One kit per family. Supplies limited.
