Our Impact
13,000
people served each month through the Helpful Harvest Food Program.
$1,236,801
raised during our 2021 campaign to support 24 funded partners in Monongalia and Preston counties.
2,273
kids receiving free books in Mon County from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
Reading is a cornerstone of early education, and Dolly Parton's Imagination Library mails one age-appropriate book per month to children ages birth-5 in Mon and Preston counties. There are more than 2,000 children currently enrolled for the program in Mon County.
The No. 1 need at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic was food, and with that in mind, Helpful Harvest was born. The program gets fresh produce, local meats and dairy items, and nonperishables to 40-plus area pantries and programs thanks to great partnerships in this community.
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
