Dolly Parton Donating To Hurricane Helene Victims

Dolly Parton is donating $1 million, and some of her businesses in Tennessee are working together and will match that, to help flood victims after the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

As communities across the Appalachian region continue the daunting cleanup efforts, Dolly announced a $1 million donation to the Mountain Ways Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) dedicated to providing immediate assistance to Hurricane Helene flood victims.

In addition, Dolly’s East Tennessee businesses, Dollywood Parks & Resorts, Dolly Parton’s Stampede, and Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show, as well as The Dollywood Foundation are combining efforts and have pledged to match her donation to Mountain Ways with a $1 million contribution of their own.

The donations help jumpstart the efforts of Mountain Ways to provide essential financial resources directly and efficiently to the most affected areas. Mountain Ways also will coordinate other relief efforts, including distributing food, water and other necessary supplies.

Locally the best way to help is monetary donations to the American Red Cross, Churches, or other Hurricane Relief efforts.
