Easterseals North Georgia Receives Book Houses from McCormick

Longtime community partner, McCormick, provides Book Houses for ESNG's four Dekalb County Early Education and Care Centers.

ATLANTA, March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Easterseals North Georgia (ESNG), a community-based nonprofit that provides high-quality services to children with disabilities as well as families, announced that it has received four new Book Houses from it's longtime partner McCormick and Company, Inc. Prior to the 2020 acquisition of the Dekalb county centers, McCormick had provided Book Houses to 12 of ESNG's Early Education Centers across metro Atlanta, Gwinnett County and Northeast Georgia. In addition to supplying the physical structures, McCormick is also stocking the Book Houses with books for the children at each center and the surrounding community.

"Community partners like McCormick that actively support our mission help ESNG make a lasting impact on the children and families we serve," said Donna Davidson, President and CEO of Easterseals North Georgia. ESNG is the largest Inclusive Early Education and Care services provider to children ages six weeks to five years in Georgia. Currently, ESNG provides services to over 2,000 low-income children in 21 metro Atlanta and Northeast Georgia locations.

Literacy is a foundation for future learning and education. Improving the literacy and "readiness-gap" early for a child is fundamental for their long-term success. The Book Houses will provide free reading material to children and families who lack resources and are economically disadvantaged backgrounds. "McCormick's team members were happy to build the Book Houses and supply much-needed books for the families that Easterseals North Georgia serves. At McCormick, we stand with our community and want to see everyone thrive," said Ryan Swank, Plant Manager – Atlanta.

"We simply could not provide the programs and services, at the scale that we do, without the critical support from philanthropic organizations like McCormick," Donna Davidson stated.
