Summer of 2010

Well folks it is summer in Tipton County, it is and has been very, very hot!  We want to say thanks to everyone and we mean everyone who has helped us in some small way after the flood.  Tipton Cares might not have survived beyond the flood if it had not been for the great community support.  I know I cannot name everyone who provided assistance, but let me name just a few.  First, we want to say thanks to Mayor Cole, the City of Munford and their employees for providing so many needed services during the days after the flood.  Thanks to County Executive, Jeff Huffman, and the County Commisioners for their support and help to make sure we were able to find a place to re-locate.  We must say thanks to Sheriff Chumley and his staff for helping us on some of the most difficult days.  The list is much longer and we want to say thanks to everyone who helped in some way to see that Tipton Cares would be able to once again provide assistance to families of Tipton County.  Don't forget we need you to volunteer for Tipton Cares in your church, in your community, or at your workplace.  We always need volunteers to help with Food Drives and with fundraising.  We have a wonderful easy fundraiser going on now.  Email us at tiptoncares@gmail.com and we will e-mail you a copy of this easy Fundraiser that can be done in your spare time.  Thanks everyone and Remember we are "Neighbors Helping Neighbors."

Tipton Cares Project 2010 (Phase 1)

The Tipton Cares Project 2010 (Phase 1) is now underway. We need 100 individuals or groups to contribute $20.10 to our cause. We have seen an increase in the number of requests for assistance this year. Here is a great way for our frends to help Tipton Cares. For every individual or group that contributes $20.10 or more to Tipton Cares we will list your name or the name of your group on our website. We hope that many of our friends will not only make this contribution, but will also challenge their friends to contribute. We can only provide assistance to others when our friends and neighbors donate to the cause. Every time we hear of something bad happening in our world, it is a great tragedy. We have hungry and needy people right here in Tipton County. Please make your donation today while you are thinking about Tipton Cares. Donate online by going to our cause, "Friends of Tipton Cares." Or mail your donation to Tipton Cares at P.O. Box 745 Atoka, TN 38004. Who will be first to donate to set an example for others? These donations of $20.10 will add up quickly, so please help your local community by making your donation as soon as possible.
