We love that today is Dolly Day/ Give Like Dolly Day! Dolly Parton showed us that generosity can take many forms. It can open a book, open a door, help someone through a hard season, or give a person the chance to discover what they are capable of achieving.
Give Like Dolly – Middle Tennessee is an invitation to carry on with that kindness. For the next three days, the community can donate through the Community Foundation of Middle TN to nonprofits in the area doing the kind of work that Dolly championed. There are several organizations we partner with on the list, and all are worthy! We recommend donating to the Imagination Library of Middle TN (through United Way of Greater Nashville) as we make sure all of our families with children ages 0-5 are enrolled in that program. And we are also big fans of Pawster as they are a great partner when our families need to foster their pet while we secure housing for them. https://www.giving9to5.com/
Even though we are not listed on CFMT website, you can also honor Dolly through a donation to Safe Haven directly to https://bit.ly/shfsdonatenow or sign up to volunteer for our Welcome Home that takes place every Thursday. https://bit.ly/welcomehomevolunteer
There are so many ways to carry on the kindness and generosity with which Dolly Parton lived her life. We hope you will choose to take action to honor her legacy! 🦋♥
