The Mitchell Auto Group closes the 2017 year with support for the reading advocacy organization, Read to a Child. This exceptional group is a national literacy and mentoring non-profit that inspires caring adults to read aloud regularly to underserved children to create better opportunities for the child’s future.
Research shows that reading aloud to children is the single most important activity for eventual success in reading, a key factor for success in school, work, and life. When an adult reads aloud to a child, both parties have a joyful, rewarding experience that instills a love of reading, improves literacy skills, and enhances a child’s self-confidence. Read to a Child’s Lunchtime Reading Program utilizes more than 1,700 volunteer mentors from over 125 socially-minded organizations who read one-on-one to more than 1,300 at-risk elementary school students in Greater Hartford, Detroit, Boston, Los Angeles and Miami.

We are dedicated to saving America’s unwanted horses from slaughter through rescue, advocacy, education, community outreach, and solution-based supportive programs. USHWR works in conjunction with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and other equine rescue organizations across the country promoting awareness and legislation to put an end to the sale and transport of America’s horses to slaughter.
USHWR’s current annual budget for 10 horses is in excess of $70,000. It grows with each horse pulled from a slaughter lot by $3500 or more plus monthly maintenance for the horse. Currently, USHWR is working diligently to help CT and MA residents keep their horses from ending up in the wrong place because of COVID-19 has left owners unable to feed and care for their horses. USHWR helps rehome these horses safely by doing thorough vet checks, site checks, microchipping, a stringent adoption contract, and frequent wellness checks.
