Carl Perkins Center “Making a Difference”

Saturday, October 28, is National Make a Difference Day. To commemorate this event, the Exchange Club – Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse will be conducting a food drive to benefit needy families in our community.

Participation is easy! Bring your donations of canned sweet potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce along with instant potatoes, sugar, flour, tea, bags of marshmallows, any items needed for a holiday dinner to the Center on November 20.

The Center is also asking local churches to participate in this effort by designating a special place for your donations to be collected and announce this location to your congregation. If possible, appoint someone to deliver the donations to the Carl Perkins Center after November 19.

“Thank you in advance for participating in National Make a Difference Day and for making a difference in our community,” says County Director Linda Burns. “With your help and participation, this collaborative effort will truly make a difference for our neighbors in need.”

The Carl Perkins Center is located at 51 Kleer Vu Drive, in Brownsville, and is open Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information, please call 731-772-8378.

The Center will be delivering the Thanksgiving baskets November 22.
