All donations bring joy to a child's life.

Your kindness, generosity and support of our work help to improve the reading levels of our children in Winnebago County. Your gifts to United Way Rock River Valley make our Literacy Initiative possible and it’s working!

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is just one of the programs we fund with your dollars, and we have powerful news to share! The return on your investment has been great! With your partnership, the following was achieved:

• At the end of 2025, Winnebago County was recognized for having the largest number of enrollees in Illinois!

• In March, we surpassed a total of over 10,000 children benefiting from this program since it’s launch! (5500+ active and 4500+ graduates)

Will You Please Help Keep the Momentum Going?
