Tapply-Thompson Community Center Receives Grant Funds from the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction
Tapply-Thompson Commu- nity Center receives grant from the Greater Lakes Region Chil- dren’s Auction to provide fund- ing for their Operation Warm & Every Child is Ours Programs. Tapply-Thompson Commu- nity Center recently received a $7,000 grant from the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auc-
tion.
The grant will help further
TTCC’s mission with these two important community pro- grams. Operation Warm pro- vides winter coats, boots, snow pants, hats, and mittens to area children in need. In the past two years, they have distributed 432 items to 218 youth in the New-
found Region. This program is a collaboration with Bristol Community Services and the Bristol Fire Department. The funds will be split between this program, and Every Child is Ours Newfound. Every Child is Ours distributes weekly food bags to students in the New- found School District that may
have food challenges on week- ends. During the 20-21 school year, 3,462 bags of food were distributed with the help of school nurses and guidance counselors. This program is a collaboration with the Bristol Police Department. TTCC Di- rector, Leslie Dion, reports that the need for these two programs has been great, and the commu- nity has also stepped up with donated winter gear and food items to help offset the costs. The Greater Lakes Region Chil- dren’s Auction has supported our programs for many years and helped us to make a positive impact in our Community.
The Tapply-Thompson Community Center is a non- profit recreation department serving eight communities in the Newfound Lake Region. They offer Youth and Adult sports, After School Programs, and Summer Day Camps, as well as
many special events. To learn more about the TTCC, you can contact them at 603-744-2713 or at ttcc@metrocast.net or visit their website at www.ttccrec.org
The Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction is an annual event held every December in central New Hampshire. The fundraiser made $2,100 in its first year and has come a long way with the help of countless volunteers and donors who have helped turn it into a major an- nual campaign. During the 39 years that the community has come together, more than $7 million has been raised for local charities, all through volunteer efforts, community donations, and corporate sponsorships. Thank you, Lakes Region! For more information, please visit childrensauction.com or call 603-527-0999.
