First Stuff the Bus campaign was a big success
Clarksville, TN – Christmas is almost here and there are still local families here in Clarksville in need of Assistance for Christmas. Local home builder Rick Reda, along with local mortgage lenders Lori Mahaffey and Rachael Rainey of Movement Mortgage, and local Realtors Diane Martin, and Joy Evers have come together to help.
The genus of the idea came from Lori Mahaffey’s 13 year old daughter Elizabeth who attends the 8th grade at West Creek Middle School. “She had come home from school and when I got home from work she started telling me about this boy she goes to school with who participates in the Project F.U.E.L. program. She wished that nobody knew about it, so that they wouldn’t make fun of him.”
