Sunset Drive, Villa Park<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Volunteers gather each Wednesday morning for Breakfast &amp; Books, at North Elementary School in Villa Park, where children enjoy a nourishing breakfast and then listen to a storybook chosen by the school, read aloud by a caring volunteer.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, studies show that about 25 percent of children are never read to at home, leaving many little ones without the joy and wonder of hearing stories that spark imagination and build language. This time together is more than just reading \u2014 it is a ministry of presence, where volunteers share not only stories but also reflect Christ through kindness, encouragement, and consistency. By simply showing up to read, we can plant seeds of hope, nurture young hearts, and remind every child that they are deeply valued and never alone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1773679623337\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.signupgenius.com\/go\/10C0A4BAFAE29A3F4C25-61342608-copy#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I&#8217;m Interested<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>\u0429\u0435 \u043f\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f?<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/liftcenter.us\/uk\/contact\/?interest=Breakfast%20%26%20Books\">\u0417\u0432'\u044f\u0436\u0456\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0437 \u043d\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0442\u0443\u0442<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesdays | September 2026\u2013May 2027 | 7:35\u20138:05 a.m. North Elementary School | 150 W.
