The United Way of Pettis County invests in the impact areas of education, health, and financial stability and allocate to 11 agencies right here in Pettis County to support programs that improve the lives of everyone in the community. This includes the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.  Introduced to Pettis County in July 2019, we are currently supporting approximately 1300 children which is about 43% of the eligible population. This continuously growing program promotes literacy and allows families to register a child from the age of birth-5 to receive an age-appropriate book each month of their life until their 5^th birthday. This is of no cost to the family and parents/legal guardian of children residing in Pettis County can apply.
