DHA's Imagination Library team recently spent a morning at Genesis Daycare Center in Durant reading "The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear!" After story time, students learned how strawberries grow and the conditions they need to thrive. The Imagination Library mails books to children enrolled in the program each month from birth to age five and partners with local child care providers to offer early educational activities to children.
Research shows that 90% of a child's brain develops by the time they’re five years old. Through programs like the Imagination Library, DHA improves access to books in children's homes and opportunities for families to make the most of the critical early years of their children's development.

Being a good neighbor and community partner means lending a helping hand in times of need. DHA's Leflore Promise Community team offered support for their neighbors impacted by tornadoes in Greenwood last month, volunteering at a local community kitchen to distribute meals and support their community.
We're proud of the programs we operate that improve the lives of Delta residents, but are even prouder of the kindness and goodwill our teams show while serving our community.
