This year, the Rutter's Cos. sponsored the York County Libraries Summer Reading Club, helping to raise overall reading capacity, literacy and readiness for school among 11,260 children across York County.
Rutter's $40,000 contribution was cited as having increased participation [image-nocss] in the program, which ran June through August and featured events, author visits, book discussions, contests and prizes.
The nonprofit Pennsylvania Citizens for Better Libraries is an organization of advocates that speaks for libraries throughout Pennsylvania.
Family-owned and third-generation managed, the Rutter's Cos., York, Pa., include Rutter's Farm Stores, with 56 convenience stores in York, Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin and Lancaster counties in Pennsylvania; Rutter's Dairy, which supplies the stores; and M&G Realty, a real-estate development company. They employ more than 1,400 people in central Pennsylvania.
