📚💛 This Friday is Give Like Dolly Day! 💛📚

On Friday, September 25th, we're honoring Dolly Parton's legacy of generosity and her belief that giving starts from the heart. The City of Fresno has proclaimed the day Dolly Parton Day, and we're joining in by giving back to the kids in our community.

Want to give like Dolly this Friday? Here are a few ways:

Twenty five years later, we remember the lives lost. We honor the first responders and everyday heroes who ran toward danger, and we carry forward the spirit of unity that rose from that day. On this 25th anniversary of September 11th, we invite our community to pause, reflect, and turn remembrance into action through service, kindness, and showing up for one another. 🇺🇸
