Today, we remember. 🇺🇸

On September 11, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the strength of communities that came together in the face of tragedy.

We remember. We honor. We unite for good. ❤️🤍💙

💕 SEPTEMBER 25: LET’S MAKE IT “DOLLY DAY” IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY! 📚🦋

In keeping with Dolly Parton and her family's wishes, those wanting to honor her life and legacy are encouraged to support her Imagination Library.

To date, more than 110,000 books have been sent to children in Lackawanna County through this amazing program, and with the help of our community, we want to keep that number growing! Over 2,800 children are currently receiving books each month, and we have a waiting list of 400 more children who'd like to sign up - but we need your help!

On September 25 (9-2-5) 🎵, we’re calling on businesses, schools, organizations, offices, and workplaces across Lackawanna County to join United Way in celebrating DOLLY DAY and supporting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Lackawanna County!

đź‘– DRESS DOWN FOR DOLLY!
Invite your employees to dress down (or add a little Dolly-inspired sparkle ✨) and donate $9, $2, or $5 in honor of 9/25.

Every dollar raised stays right here in our community, helping us continue placing FREE books directly into the hands and homes of Lackawanna County children. ❤️📚

And if a dress-down day doesn’t work for your workplace? Get creative! Host a bake sale. Have a “Dolly Day” coffee jar. Wear pink. Break out the rhinestones. Challenge another department. Collect $5 donations. Create your own fundraiser.
However you do it, do it for Dolly. 🦋

And now we need YOUR help spreading the word!

🏷️ TAG a local business, school, organization, or workplace in the comments that you want to see participate in Dolly Day!

Imagine what could happen if workplaces all across Lackawanna County came together for just ONE day...each raising a few dollars, each celebrating Dolly, and each helping another local child discover the joy of receiving a book in the mail with their very own name on it.

$30 provides books for one child for an entire year.
$150 supports a child for the life of the program.

On 9/25, let’s write the next chapter. 📖
🦋 Honor Dolly.
đź“š Keep the books coming.
❤️ Keep her dream alive.

Soo...Who’s joining us for Dolly Day?!

🎉 Introducing BOARD MATCH!

There are people across our community who want to get involved, give back, and use their talents to make a difference.

And there are incredible nonprofit organizations looking for exactly those people.

Now, we're helping them find each other. đź’™

United Way of Lackawanna, Wayne & Pike, in partnership with Leadership Lackawanna and the Scranton Area Community Foundation, is excited to launch Board Match, a new community resource designed to connect individuals interested in nonprofit board and committee service with organizations seeking new leadership, perspectives, and expertise.

Want to serve?
Whether you're an experienced community leader or you've never served on a nonprofit board before, Board Match can help connect you with opportunities that align with your interests, experience, and passions.

Looking for board or committee members?
Nonprofits can share their current and upcoming leadership opportunities so we can help introduce them to people who are ready to get involved.

There is tremendous talent in our community. Let's connect it with tremendous opportunity.

➡️ Ready to find your match? Visit https://uwlwp.org/boardmatch/ to get started!
