Imagination Library of Washington is proud to announce an inspiring new partnership with G.E.H.A (Government Employees Health Association), one of the nation’s leading health and dental benefits providers for federal employees, military retirees, and their families, to bring the transformative power of books to children in military families and communities in Washington. Together, the organizations are focused on enhancing early literacy opportunities for children, fostering literacy, strengthening family bonds, and creating brighter futures for the next generation.
