Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to children from birth to age five, through funding shared by Dolly Parton and local community partners in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Republic of Ireland.

Inspired by her father’s inability to read and write Dolly started her Imagination Library in 1995 for the children within her home county. Today, her program spans five countries and gifts millions of free books each month to children around the world.

“When I was growing up in the hills of East Tennessee, I knew my dreams would come true. I know there are children in your community with their own dreams. They dream of becoming a doctor or an inventor or a minister. Who knows, maybe there is a little girl whose dream is to be a writer and singer.

The seeds of these dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world.”

A very worthy cause!  Especially with the shutting down of libraries and censorship.

With so much going on *waves hands around at everything* Food Scracity is at its highest.

There are many ways to help local food banks: volunteering, donate food and/or money.  Many business will double your own contribution so check with the company you work for.

I’ve volunteered at my local one, and amazed at how much food they can give out for little money.  They can feed 4 people for $1.

I wanted to put out to the group – what charities would you like to add to our list?

Please donate what you can to a Food Bank.  

There are millions of people who are food insecure – let’s make sure they can put food on the table.

If don’t have a good Food Bank near you, look for organizations that help feed the hungry. 

For example: No Kid Hungry, World Center Kitchen, and many others.
