A little kindness can make a big difference. Today, Mayor Tamara Sheffield officially proclaimed September 25, 2026, as Dolly Parton Day of Kindness in Salisbury.

The date 9/25 is a nod to Dolly Parton’s iconic 9 to 5 while celebrating her legacy of kindness, generosity, service and uplifting others.

We’re encouraging everyone to keep the celebration going with a “Dolly Good Deed.” Show kindness, lend a helping hand or do something unexpected to brighten someone’s day.
