In 1995, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, to benefit the children of her home county in East Tennessee, USA. Dolly’s vision was to foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families. The new program gave each child a specially selected book each month. By mailing high quality, age appropriate books directly to their homes, Dolly wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could ensure that every child would have books, regardless of their family’s income.

Since its launch, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has set and surpassed many goals and milestones. National replication, which started in 2000, allowed more and more communities to adopt the program. State-wide coverage was established in Tennessee in 2004. Furthermore, international growth provided expansion in Canada (2006), United Kingdom (2007) and Australia (2014).

The first book order in 1995 totaled just over 1,700. Today, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library sends more than one million books per month to children around the world inspiring them to Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More.

Nearly 100 years ago, ChildSavers was established as the Children’s Memorial Clinic in memory of Dr. McGuire Newton, one of Richmond’s first pediatricians. Martha Patteson Bowie (Mrs. Melville C.) Branch connected concerned citizens to create an innovative agency “for the purpose of giving complete physical and mental examinations, free of charge, to all children who may need the same.” We were one of the first ten child guidance clinics in the United States, and the first in the South, and we are the oldest provider of mental health services for children in the metro Richmond area licensed by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. As our knowledge grows and the community changes, we adopt new models and best practices to meet the needs of children. 

Hanna4Hope takes a multi-pronged approach to addressing teen suicide. Suicide prevention workshops, school-based assemblies, teen committees, student clubs, guest speakers and community partnerships serve to deliver the message and empower participants to recognize the warning signs and seek help to prevent suicide attempts.  

Hanna4Hope's core programs align with the CDC's recommended prevention strategy of relationship building. "At the level of individual contentedness, a very clear pathway is that in times of stress, the number and quality of social ties people have can directly influence their access to social support -- regardless of whether that support is instrumental or emotional, actual or perceived." (Strategic Direction for the Prevention of Suicidal Behaviors)

Hanna4Hope is the only organization in North Texas that directly trains teens, and those that care for them, as resources and methods for teens contemplating suicide due to depression, trauma or impulsive decision making. Partnering with Children’s Health, Hanna4Hope provides intensive three-hour workshops that provide participants with a thorough understanding of suicide prevention based on best practices.  Workshop attendees include teens, parents, community leaders and educators throughout North Texas.

Sole Hope exists to offer HOPE, healthier lives and freedom from foot related diseases through education, jobs and medical relief. By doing this, adults who need work get paid by Sole Hope to make the Sole Hope shoe for children in villages in the Busoga region. By not wearing closed-toed shoes, children and adults alike are becoming ill due to diseases (specifically a parasite called jiggers) that enter through the feet and rob the body of the little nutrition it has. This can also cause secondary infections like tetanus and gangrene. Many lose their childhood to this parasite and others are unable to attend school because their feet have been so badly mutilated by jiggers.
