Superstar, Dolly Parton will assist with the ongoing relief efforts around the United States and its territories by making a contribution to the One America Appeal for Hurricane Relief. The One America Appeal is a joint appeal that was originally launched by all five living former American Presidents to encourage support recovery efforts from Hurricane Harvey, and has expanded to include areas most affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Dolly stated, “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 to the financial contribution to the One America Appeal, Dolly will launch a partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, to provide 500,000 books to hurricane-affected areas.
