☀️ Happy First Day of Summer! ☀️

We’re kicking off the season with our Summer Reading Challenge — because nothing says “summer” like a good book and a cold drink in the sunshine! 📚🍹🌞

Whether you’re lounging by the pool, hanging out with a friend, or reading under the stars, we challenge you to complete as many of the fun tasks on our reading board as you can
(hello, prizes! 👀🎁).

📸 Snap a photo, tag us, and use #ReadwithCreed — or email us your board to enter to win!

🚨 Heads up: We’re taking a short break from regular posting this month to rest, recharge, and READ — so don’t fall into a reading slump while we’re quiet. Let this challenge be your guide!

Grab your board & join us!

Let’s clean closets AND help kids!
We Are Creed is collecting gently used sneakers to recycle and raise money for literacy efforts.
♻️ Reuse your shoes, reduce waste, and raise hope.

Good Night, Sleep Tight Kits – We’re Starting Early!

Each winter, our Finding New Homes Program sends special care packages to women and children staying in a domestic violence shelter. We call them our Good Night, Sleep Tight Kits, and they’re filled with:

💛 Cozy Winter Pajamas (non-flammable, non-holiday themed)

📖 Books & Journals

🍬 Candy & Comfort Treats

We believe that comfy pajamas + a good book + a warm treat = comfort. When someone feels safe and warm, they can finally rest.

These kits are our way of saying: You are not alone. If our community can bring even a moment of peace or comfort during an incredibly hard time, we’ve done what we set out to do.

🛍️ You can shop our Amazon Wish List here: https://a.co/5WLP8zh

💛 Or make a direct donation to help us fill these kits: https://www.zeffy.com/…/good-night-sleep-tight-kits…

Together, let’s send the message: You deserve warmth, rest, and hope.
