Many businesses and organizations have chosen to help the Carl Perkins Center this holiday season with numerous donations.

“We want to thank these people/businesses and all of Haywood County who helped us in making Christmas brighter for 225 children we were able to provide for this year,” representatives from the Carl Perkins Center said. “Haywood Countians and Tennesseans have a heart and are always stepping up to help others that are in need.”

The Center received donations from Newwave Communications, Cash Express and Corrections Corporation of America all pictured. Not pictured, however, is a special donation from Tilda Walden of IFC Disposables, who presented Carl Perkins Center Director, Beth Wilson with $400 to buy gifts for the children’s wish list.
