C&S Family of Companies

Since 2008, First Book and C&S Family of Companies have reached more than 300,000 children in communities nationwide. C&S consistently advocates for First Book’s mission by extending our reach, amplifying our message, and building brand awareness. From compelling videos to revamped trade show toolkits, C&S’s support has been instrumental in reaching even more communities in need. The “Food for the Body, Food for the Mind” signature partnership highlights collaboration between First Book, C&S and organizations addressing food insecurity. Through this initiative, books and resources are provided to local food banks, summer meal sites and HeadStart programs, which then distribute them to children in high-need communities. C&S also generously provides in-kind donations of non-perishable food and hygiene essentials, which provides First Book Members access to these essentials. In addition, C&S has so generously supported First Book’s Teacher Appreciation Week initiative, so much so that now First Book celebrates teachers all year.
