Blankets for Clarksville Senior Citizens

Written by Joe Pitts
Tennessee State Representative – District 67

Nashville, TN – This is the time of year when every organization seems to put out their “help needed” sign in our community. And each of these groups is worthy of our support.

I am adding another need to the list for our community. We have 20 senior citizens who are residents of the Lincoln Homes neighborhood and are in need of blankets in advance of the colder weather ahead

I am hoping, during your shopping time over the next few days, you will purchase one, two or half a dozen and make these available to a group of our senior “saints.” [Read more]
