In Honor of Dolly, Let’s Live & Give Like Her For a Day!

DOLLY PARTON DAY 9/25/2026

Friday, September 25th is Dolly Day, in honor of Dolly Parton. In honor of Dolly, I'd love to inspire a community-wide giving initiative that supports the important work she started!

Fund The Imagination Library

I would love your support, and a donation, in funding Dolly’s Imagination Library to one of the three communities that I call home. If you’d like to donate in your own community, you can use the last link and select your state of residence!

Community Foundation of St. Joseph County (please select “Imagination Library” as the fund)

Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s Imagination Library Endowment (minimum donation amount is $10)

Imagination Library (Select “MD - Queen Anne’s County” as the Local Program Partner)

Stock A Little Free Library

Donate books (bonus points if they are Dolly’s books or Dolly Parton themed!) to your local Little Free Library. I am donating to the Simonton Lake Little Free Library, and the SJCPL Ardmore Little Free Library in South Bend.

Use the map HERE to locate yours.

Donate to a Food Pantry

Donate Dolly-themed baking mixes to your local food pantry! I am making donations to The Nashville Food Project and The Mishawaka Food Pantry. If you’d like to contribute to these specific donations, please let me know with a text!

Donate Pink Flowers

I am donating pink flowers to the flower nonprofit I volunteer with, Joy Blooms. I am also designing Dolly tags to go on the flower vases as they are delivered around the community for all to enjoy. If you’d like to contribute towards the cost of the flowers, please let me know with a text!
