Representatives of the the United Way of Trumbull County and 7 17 Credit Union spent some time at Warren’s McGuffey PK-8 School on Tuesday reading to preschool students and announcing a new partnership designed to support early literacy efforts in Trumbull County.
The effort centers on Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which mails a free age-appropriate book each month to enrolled children from birth until age 5. The United Way of Trumbull County serves as the local affiliate for the program in the county.
As part of the partnership, the 717 Credit Union introduced an Affinity credit card linked to the United Way. A portion of each purchase made with the card, 7.17 cents, will help fund the Imagination Library by promoting the program and supporting its operations.
