The Amicus Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Cameron, Montana, will be providing free books to Montana children through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a book gifting program started by the entertainer to foster a love of reading among children.
Each child enrolled in the program receives one book per month from birth to age 5 at no cost to families.
For the next five years, the Amicus Foundation has committed to covering the book and mailing costs for the program in six Montana counties, including Beaverhead, Broadwater, Deer Lodge, Jefferson, Madison, and Silver Bow County.
Established in 2015 by John and Sheila Lake, the foundation’s focus is on strategic investments in conservation, education, faith, families, health and veterans.
“My wife, Sheila, and I are pleased to support Imagination Library and help further its impact in Montana, the place we call home,” said John Lake. “One focus of the Amicus Foundation is supporting families, and Imagination Library is such a benefit to Montana families.”
