text: Back in 2005, I read an article that ranked San Antonio as one of the cities with the worst literacy rates. I decided then to start a book drive. Today, with the help of many different folks from all over our community like the San Antonio Food Bank this book drive has morphed into a thriving organization SAReads, which collected over 8,000 books for kids in Bexar County this summer alone. San Antonio has been blessed with incredible economic momentum. We must ensure that we are also setting up a strong foundation through education so that our youth can reap the benefits of our city's prosperity.
