Dolly Parton
Oct 19, 2017
Country icon Dolly Parton has taken part in the ongoing hurricane relief efforts by making a contribution to the One America Appeal For Hurricane Relief, which is being led by our five living former Presidents and assists with immediate life-sustaining needs of those affected by the recent natural disasters. Parton recalled, "After the tremendous outpouring of support my hometown received last winter after the wildfires raged through the area, I want to do my part to help other areas affected by natural disasters. I admire and respect this effort led by our Presidents, so it is an honor for me to contribute to their work."
In addition, Parton will launch a partnership with her Imagination Library, nonprofit First Book, and Penguin Young Readers to provide 500,000 books to the affected areas through the First Book National Book Bank.
