WHO IS THE COUPON PATROL HELPING THIS MONTH?

The Elkmont based, The Coupon Patrol (TCP) isn't just about helping you save money. It also reaches out and helps those in need in the community. They have chosen to share the Lord's blessings with the Athens Limestone Counseling Center (Mental Health Center) this month

We will be working directly with Patrol member and case worker, Jessica Walker Young. Jessica has 13 clients that she visits with to do hands-on counseling; she also leads a group of 30 others. All are on disability and most receive less than $800.00 per month. Take away rent, lights, and medicine that doesn't leave much for food.

One of her clients receives 20.00 per month in food stamps. Some of them go to the food bank, but there is a limit on how much they are allowed. They do not have dental or eye care coverage, and Jessica has been seeking donations to help them with food, cleaning supplies, and health & beauty aids.

We will begin collecting March 2nd and collect till the 31st. We will deliver that same week to Jessica and she will handle delivering to her needy clients. Jessica said any and everything that our TCP family can donate will be a blessing to her clients, gently used clothing, blankets. space heaters, pet food. health and beauty, cleaning supplies and food.

We appreciate your thoughts, prayers and any donations you can give. We welcome any of our members that want to go with us to drop off the donations, just let us know. If you are new to TCP and want to donate, please take a marker and draw a line through the bar codes on your donations. Also any clothes need to be gently used, with no repairs needing to be made. All donations can be dropped off with Phebe A Durant at Don Carter Heating and Cooling on 72 and Mandy Hemmen at Springleaf Financial next to Spry on 72, or message Larry Pierce to drop off at Elkmont. He will either meet you at Piggly Wiggly or his house....thanks!!!!
