The days and nights beginning in August have been long ones as we have once been moving Tipton Cares from 305 Quinton Dr. to 61 Quinton Dr. On Monday, September 15, 2008, the move was completed. Our volunteers swept the blue building clean and at 1:30 in the afternoon, we turned the building back over to the owner. We want to say thanks to all our staff, our volunteers, and community service workers who help to make this move possible in just a few days.
We opened the new Thrift Store at 61 Quinton Dr. for the first time on September 16, 2008, and we had the best day that we have had in many months. This should prove to be the best location for Tipton Cares. We have air condintioning, a paved parking lot, a big office and a very good location.
We are already working on getting together the canned goods and the turkeys that will be needed for our Thanksgiving Food Boxes this year. In years past we set a goal of distributing 75 food boxes to families in Tipton County. This year we have set a goal of being able to distribute at least 100 Thanksgiving Food Boxes. We will need your help to collect the amount of food that it will take to distribute the Thanksgiving Food Boxes and to continue to distribute food boxes on a weely basis to those who need them. We have seen a sharp increase in requests for assistance with our Emergency Food Boxes. For a list of food that is needed please give us a call or e-mail us. We are looking for you or your church to help us this year.
Also, let us know it you would like to adopt a family for Thanksgiving or Christmas. You will receive many blessings and it is very rewarding to know that you were responsible for another family having a turkey and all the trimmings for their Thanksgiving Day meal.
Volunteers are always needed at Tipton Cares. We have volunteer opportunities in Covington, Munford and for those who want to volunteer in thier community. E-Mail me for more information on volunteer opportunities in your area.
