Dolly Parton has pledged a $1 million donation to help Hurricane Helene victims after her home state of Tennessee was one of the six states affected.
On Friday, Oct. 3, the country music star and Pitman Center, Tenn. native, 78, traveled to a Walmart in Newport, Tenn., to announce that she and her East Tennessee businesses partnered with the retailer to help aid those affected.
In addition to Walmart increasing its commitment of $6 million to a $10 million donation to hurricane relief efforts, Parton will now donate $1 million to the Mountain Ways Foundation.
According to its website, the foundation is “committed to providing ongoing disaster relief, coordinating efforts with local organizations and officials to ensure that essential resources reach the most affected areas efficiently.” More
God bless her.
“Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.”
Matthew 6:2
National Treasure! God bless you Dolly!
She is and always has been the genuine article!
Pure gold.
Watch the feds steal it.
CLASS ACT !
If FEMA allows it since she probably isn’t A “preferred
vendor” who kicks back to the big guys.
She’s always been a fundamentally decent person.

While that seems applicable here, I’ll counter propose that since she has roots in that area the announcement is intended, at least in part, to induce others to follow her lead. On the order of telethon fund raisers where people “challenge” others to match their gift. So, it becomes less about “them” and more about setting an example.
Where’s Taylor Swift? Justin Timberlake? Their turn? Or NO because they’re COMMIE-LA supporters?
She’s the Patron Saint of the Smokies
