The passing of Dolly Parton profoundly saddens United Way of Pitt County. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, she gave thousands of children in Pitt County the opportunity to begin their literacy journey with books of their very own.
Since 2016, United Way of Pitt County has helped deliver 726,059 books to children across our community through the Imagination Library. We are deeply grateful to have been part of Dolly’s vision and to have witnessed firsthand the lasting impact of her generosity on children and families in Pitt County.
Dolly Parton’s legacy will live on through every child who opens a book, discovers a new story, and learns to dream. Her commitment to children, literacy, and the power of imagination has touched generations, and her impact will continue to be felt in our community for years.
