WARSAW — The local chapter and foundation of the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association has donated a total of $2,000 to support Operation Read’s mission of advancing literacy in Kosciusko County and beyond.

AHEPA’s ongoing support will help provide books, tutoring, and critical literacy resources for children and adults in financial need.

Operation Read Executive Director DeeAnna Muraski accepted the most recent gift from AHEPA member Panos Niarchos, thanking the organization for its commitment to education, philanthropy, and civic responsibility.

“We are deeply grateful to AHEPA for believing in the power of literacy to change lives,” said Muraski. “Their continued support helps us reach more families with the resources they need to read, grow, and succeed. Literacy is a critical and basic need.”

AHEPA, founded in 1922, promotes the ideals of education, philanthropy, civic responsibility, family, and individual excellence through community service and volunteerism.

Operation Read accomplishes their mission through free book distribution, literacy-focused events, reading challenges, school partnerships, and family engagement programs that make reading fun, accessible, and meaningful.
