Dolly Parton's Imagination Library $500.00
The Imagination Library program was started by Dolly Parton because she wanted every child birth to five years of age to have his or her own library of books. Dolly understood the importance of exposing children to reading at an early age, so she began sending books monthly, free of charge, to kids in her county. Thanks to the Jefferson DeFrees Family Center and a number of local citizens committed to providing resources that improve literacy in our community - the imagination Library was brought to the families of Warren County in July 201. A total od 40,000 books have been mailed to children in Warren County.
Each year, Warren Zontians participate in several local community projects. In addition, funds also support A Safe Place, Girl Scouts, Don Mills Achievement Center, Jefferson DeFrees Family Center, Salvation Army and the Hi Ed School to work program. Internationally, funds support programs that provide health care and education for women in third world countries, including the birthing kits that Warren Zontians prepare to send to an underdeveloped country.
