OUR IMPACT INITIATIVES
At Celebs Give Back, we believe in the power of community and the impact of collective action. Whether it’s bridging the literacy gap, fighting food insecurity, or spreading holiday cheer, there’s a place for everyone to make a difference.
Turn the Page Challenge
A literacy movement tackling the reading gap in underserved communities.
The Turn the Page Initiative is a literacy-focused movement launched by Celebs Give Back, Inc. to address the critical reading gap affecting children in underserved communities—starting right here in Georgia. This initiative is more than just a reading challenge; it's a community call-to-action to make reading a priority, a passion, and a lifelong habit for every child. Designed to be both fun and educational, the initiative provides children with access to age-appropriate books, reading tools, and encouragement through the collective efforts of schools, families, volunteers, and influential figures from various industries.
​
With only 44% of Georgia’s third graders reading on grade level, the urgency is clear: children need support, access, and positive reinforcement to build strong literacy skills. The Turn the Page Initiative was created to meet that need—empowering students to fall in love with reading, gain confidence, and boost academic success, all while building a stronger, more connected community.

Hope for the Holidays
These programs directly serve families in underserved communities, ensuring they are supported during the holiday season.
Thanksgiving-On-Us
We partner with generous individuals, local organizations, and volunteers to collect and distribute essential items that help families prepare full Thanksgiving meals. From turkeys and stuffing to canned goods and desserts, our goal is to ease the burden on households facing food insecurity and bring dignity and comfort to the dinner table. Families receive not just food—but hope, tradition, and the gift of gathering.
​
Christmas-On-Us
Each year, we give away thousands of dollars in toys to kids in underserved areas, bringing smiles, laughter, and joy to homes that may otherwise go without. This initiative reminds families that they are not forgotten—and that their community stands with them. With every toy given and every family supported, we continue our mission of showing up where love is needed most.
