Dolly Parton has long been considered the Patron Saint of the Community Investments Program, thanks to her lifelong commitment to service and dedication to advancing literacy across the country. Through her Imagination Library, children receive a free book every month from birth through age five. Many Lodges, including Kenton, Ohio, Lodge No. 157, have partnered with their local Imagination Library chapters over the years to register children as part of their CIP grant projects.
You don’t have to “work 9 to 5” to make a difference! Apply for a CIP grant today and help advance literacy in your community! For more information, visit elks.org/cip
