There are some new friends in town! Meet the Warm Pals! These adorable weighted animals are just like the Warmies we love so much, BUT they can also go in the freezer! We love having the option of both and you have to admit, that little lamb . . .

And guess where you can get them? Right here in town, at Liberty Vintage Marketplace. As you can see, Ms. Lisa is a big fan and loves them all. We think our kiddos will love them too. And if you just so happened to stop by and get one, you could even donate it in our donation station right inside the store.

This will make our last trivia question so easy!

Remember, this month you have a chance to answer some TFG Trivia! All correct answers in the comments will go into a drawing for a gift certificate from Liberty Vintage Marketplace. Don't forget to scroll for older posts in case you missed one.

Here is trivia number four! Why does TFG like the Warmies and Warm Pals so much and which one is your favorite?

Butterfly boxes are out and waiting for you!

We love it when you leave encouraging messages for the kids we serve, and now it is easy! Stop by Town of Atoka, Town of Brighton, Pak N More, Liberty Vintage Marketplace, Crafted Coffee, Atoka Adventure Railroad, Southern Draw Antique Mall, or the Tipton County Public Library and look for the display like you see in these pictures. Then just gather up a little encouragement and write it for a kiddo who needs some.

Five minutes of your day may be years of encouragement for them.

Don't forget! This month you have a chance to answer some TFG Trivia! All correct answers in the comments will go into a drawing for a gift certificate from Liberty Vintage Marketplace. Don't forget to scroll for older posts in case you missed one.

Here is trivia number three! Tell me what happens to the notes you put in the butterfly boxes? How do the kiddos get them?

Good luck!

And the good news just keeps arriving!

Our big blessing of the week? A new TFG Community Partner! Stockdale's in Covington has sections and sections of toys, baby, and books. They have signed on with TFG as a local donation station for the children we serve. Like all of our community partners, you can visit, buy, and serve a child all in one trip, helping TFG to ease the trauma of the transition for children who can't go home.

We were honored to be invited to install our very first A Place to Wait Sensory Station at the Boys and Girls Club yesterday. This trauma-friendly space is located within the therapy suite at the teen center and offers a safe area for feelings an rest. Thank you for the privilege of being a part of something so important for the kids we serve.

Thanks to this partnership, we now plan to add sensory teen areas to all of our expanded locations. Thank you to all of our supporters who make these miracles happen!
