We believe all children deserve basic care and necessities, including access to clean diapers and wipes. Our goal is to ease the financial burden of parents and caregivers and support them in being able to care for their children well. The Children’s Council Diaper Bank provides free diapers to all families in Watauga County, regardless of means. Watauga County residents can receive…

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library puts books into the hands and hearts of children across the world. They partner with local communities like ours to provide age-appropriate, high-quality books each month to registered children from birth to age five. 

At this time, new registrations are limited and restricted to in-person applications due to budget constraints. 

We hope to be able to re-open full enrollment once new funding is available. (See accompanying message below). 

The Children’s Council will provide Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (DPIL) to as many Watauga children as our state and private funding will allow. As of February 1, 2025, the Children’s Council will need to raise 100% of the funds needed to enroll new children into the program.  Online registration is not currently available, but in-person registration at our office is open and subject to a wait-list.
