Our Mission
The mission of the CBAF is to build the best Breakfast & Books Literacy Program we can. We started with three sites on January 4, 2025 with the Total Living Center, Zion's Temple and Union Baptist Church. In March we added St. Paul AME, Jesus Speaks Ministries and Mt. Zion. In August People's Baptist joined the program. We plan to add more sites one at a time. A special thank you to the pastors and church members who continue to support the program.

Literacy programs
Basic literacy
Every child entering our program their reading and comprehension skills are assessed. Every month they're monitored for improvement. Nothing is left to chance.
Student development
Our Five Pillars of Development:
1. Reading skills
2. Comprehension skills
3. Cognitive thinking skills
4. Social skills
5. Emotional intelligence
Community programs
Parents play an important role in the Breakfast & Books Program.
We want them onsite learning and refining their parenting skills with our adult presenters.
Parents in our program respect teachers. They believe as we do that respect starts at home.
Inspiring through stories
At cantonblackassistancefoundation.com, we are committed to sharing inspiring stories and news about our Breakfast & Books literacy program. Explore what we have to offer and how you can contribute to the success of young people in our community.
The Breakfast & Books Literacy is educational but best of all it's fun for the students. They get to meet fascinating people who are teachers, authors, musicians, business owners, politicians, actors, and many more from diverse fields.
