Riley Institute promotes children’s literacy in creative ways

A cohort of The Riley Institute’s Diversity Leaders Initiative has partnered with the Laundry Cares Foundation to launch Wash, Rinse, and Read, a DLI project aimed at supporting children’s literacy. Through the project, Laundry Plus on Howell Road in Greenville opened its doors with a free laundry day in addition to books and space for reading at the facility. More children’s books will be added on a monthly basis, according to a WYFF News4 report. GSA Bizwire.com also ran the story with more detail about the project and its multiple partners.
