United Way of Southeast Mississippi's SOAR United program hosted a free book fair for afterschool students at The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Hattiesburg. The mission of SOAR United is to increase book ownership, accelerate reading growth, and expand high-quality literacy programming in our community. This book fair provided at least 3 brand new books for the children just as they were getting ready to enter spring break.
