Who is Success Won’t Wait, Inc.?
Founded in 2002, Success Won’t Wait, Inc. is a not for profit literacy program based in Wilmington, Delaware. The organization’s mission is to encourage reading, particularly by children. Success Won’t Wait volunteers organize statewide book drives, calling on residents to donate used books for redistribution in the community. To date, over 100,000 books have been collected. Success Won’t Wait operates three programs:
- Children’s Book Baskets. These baskets are filled with 30-50 children’s books with a variety of titles to appeal to all children. They are placed, at no cost, in waiting rooms and lobbies where children frequently have to wait.
- Creating “Independent Libraries.” Libraries are created in both temporary residential and day-only settings. Examples of libraries that have already been developed include: The Bayard House, a temporary residential facility for pregnant teens; Telegraph Road Learning Center, an alternative learning facility for teens with special needs; and PAL of New Castle, Delaware, a community center for children and teens.
- Special Projects like large book donations to U.S. troops overseas, donations to teen programs, preschool agencies, and more.
