News summary

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which caused significant devastation and left over 200 fatalities, Dolly Parton has pledged substantial support to the affected regions. Parton announced a $1 million personal donation to the Mountain Ways Foundation, which is providing immediate assistance to flood victims in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, and her companies, including Dollywood Parks & Resorts, are matching this with another $1 million. Walmart and its affiliates have also committed a total of $10 million to the relief efforts. These donations aim to address the urgent needs of approximately 136,000 people still without water and nearly 2 million under boil water advisories. Parton's philanthropic efforts are a continuation of her longstanding commitment to disaster relief, exemplified by her previous contributions during the 2016 Sevier County wildfires. The combined efforts of Parton and other donors highlight a community-focused response to the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
