Morrison Area Community Foundation (MACF) awarded $1000 to Whiteside County United Way, to be used for their Literacy is Fun for Everyone (L.I.F.E.) program. They work with Dolly Parton’s “Imagination Library,” to source age-appropriate literature. Books are distributed free every month to all children, ages birth-to-5, in Whiteside County.
United Way of Whiteside County manages the program, partnering locally with hospitals and libraries on enrollment and distribution.
In 2021, almost 20,000 books were delivered, including books for 218 children in Morrison, IL.
