Goal: $2,640.00
Specific Need
As the Loudoun affiliate of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Roots Grow Wings is committed to uplifting the youth in our community by providing a free book each month in the mail to registered children from birth up to five years old. Since our launch three years ago, we have registered over 1,650 children and gifted more than 20,000 free books, 1,250 mailed every single month!
At just $2.20 per book:
- $26 donation provides a year of monthly books mailed to a child.
- $132 provides 5 years of monthly books mailed to a child. 60 total books in their home library to help prepare them for kindergarten.
Our goal of $2,640 sponsors 20 Loudoun children for five years.
Mission
The Imagination Library of Loudoun inspires a life-long love of learning by fostering greater connections and compassion through reading. By establishing a library in every child’s home, together we will nurture their roots to grow wings!
Profile
In 2024, we strive to expand our program’s reach to include over 2,000 eligible children in the 20175 Leesburg zip code but we need your help! Every $2.20 we raise provides one new book to a child, $26 for a year of books and $132 for five years or 60 inspirational books before kindergarten!
On April 21st, Old 690 Brewing in Purcellville will host our BOOTS & BOOKS fundraiser, a family-friendly event with something for everyone - line-dancing lessons, live music, craft beverages and food, puppet show, face painting and more - all benefitting the Imagination Library of Loudoun, Roots Grow Wings! Your support will make a real difference in the lives of our earliest learners. Any gift, large or small, will impact a child’s life through access to books and reading.
