Prevention Begins with Early Learning – The Ashtabula County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board was proud to sponsor the Rise and Shine Breakfast, a fundraiser supporting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library through the Ashtabula County Community Action Agency.

Through MHRS’s sponsorship, 3,700 children will receive books in November at no cost to their families. MHRS believes that literacy is prevention and recognizes the importance of early learning in supporting children’s growth and development. We encourage others to support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Ashtabula County to help ensure children ages 0–5 continue receiving books each month, building a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success.

Donate to Ashtabula County’s Imagination Library and help continue Dolly Parton’s mission of affording every child the opportunity to have access to books at an early age. Visit https://accaa.org/get-involved/
