Foundation for Appalachian Ohio

Since 2019, First Book and the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) have partnered to expand access to high-quality, affordable books for children across the region. FEO, dedicated to using education as a tool to break the cycle of generational poverty, has leveraged First Book’s Network and resources to expand its reach and impact. Through this collaboration, more children in Appalachian communities now have the books and educational materials they need to develop strong reading skills, build knowledge, and unlock new opportunities for their future success.
