If you know a lineman who needs some extra caffeine, be sure to run by R&R Nutrition and grab them a much needed loaded tea!

• If you are a lineman, go by and ask about the lineman special when you show your ID.

Thank you to all of our local businesses who are showing kindness to our lineman!

A big shoutout to those helping to keep the power on in this weather.

We offer THE LINEMAN Loaded Tea.

✅FUNDRAISING UPDATE✅

100% of the money raised in this account will go to those affected. We have a long way to go to get the funds we need to help all of the victims. My goal is for us to raise at least $3 Million. I know many of you are selling items and holding fundraisers so that you can then donate into this account… Please keep it up. I’ve been contacted by several companies and individuals that intend to help in a big way.  Please continue to donate and share. However, due to the overwhelming amounts of donations to Venmo, they say they are not able take anymore donations on our behalf. Y’all broke Venmo! Please use the other 4 ways to donate listed below! THANK YOU!🇺🇸

🔥Survivors helping survivors 🔥

Mike and Traci Brown who live at 4088 Charlton Square have set up a relief area in their front yard for tornado victims and families. Everything has been brought in to ground zero from drinks, food, toiletries, child care items such as diapers and more! They have a large selection of clothes as well. It’s basically Walmart in the subdivision!

They invite victims from the area to come get anything they want before weather causes some items to ruin. AT&T also has a charging station for people without charging devices or power.

If you know people in the Charlton Sq/ Mcbroom Chapel area that need clothes food or toiletries, share, tag and send them literally right down the road!

This helps survivors to be able to still work on cleaning up and not worry about going through traffic just to go get something. Thank you Mike and Traci for not only being public servants to our community but also to your neighborhood.
