What is Dolly Parton's Imagination Library? 

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is the flagship program of The Dollywood Foundation. It reaches more children than any other early childhood book gifting program, and mails free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children from birth until age five, no matter their family’s income. 

Coat Drive

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Lee County Helping Families Initiative, and United Way of Lee County are teaming up once again to host a 2025 coat drive to help the citizens of Lee County this winter.

Last year, we were able to distribute over 600 coats! In 2025, we're working to increase that number and to help even more people stay warm this winter.

After the coats are collected, we will be hosting our free Bundle Up Boutique pop-up shopping experience to allow community members in need to come and choose coats for themselves and their family members.

Treat yourself and support a great cause with our annual Bunny Box fundraiser! We’ve partnered with Gigi's Cupcakes to offer a dozen, mini Easter-themed cupcakes in each box, with $5 from every purchase going directly to support Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. One order helps provide 2 children a free book for a month. 

Orders are now closed! Check back in the Spring for the 2026 Bunny Box sales!
