Dolly Parton Imagination Library

United Way of Cullman County partners with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program hosted through the Cullman County Friends of the Library. The program ensures children 5 & under have books delivered to their homes monthly- free of charge- starting at birth. The program is a great way to ensure all our children in Cullman County have access to books!

Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama

United Way of Cullman County partners with Girl Scouts of North-Central. The Girl Scouts believe every Girl Scout has their own curiosity, dreams, and talents, so when they come together to decide which of the thousands of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky’s the limit. Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie, they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good.
