A little kindness can go a long way! 🎒💙

This morning, we were grateful to welcome Toyota Tennessee and Comfort Cases as they partnered to provide youth across West Tennessee with backpacks filled with essentials.

Billy Cannon stated, “I am grateful I’ve had great parents and a great organization to work for, and not everyone has that benefit. We’re glad that we can help those who don’t!”

Thank you to Toyota Tennessee and Comfort Cases for showing up for kids and helping make sure they have something they can call their own. We’re so grateful for the partnership and generosity!💙

📅🎉 A Year at a Glance 🎉📅

As our fiscal year ended in June, we reflected on what we had accomplished in the last year. We often list the services at we offer, but there is nothing that speaks for itself more than the actual number of people that have been positively impacted because of the Carl Perkins Center.
💙
"The mission of the Center is to provide support to families in preventing and dealing with child abuse in West Tennessee and to help both parents and children meet the practical needs of preserving and improving the quality of family life."
💙
We believe that by combating child abuse at every angle, we are living our mission of meeting needs and improving the quality of life for the families that we work with in Fayette County.
💙
46 forensic interviews.
738 children received safety training in the schools.
395,000+ Facebook views.
And so much more! Intervention, prevention, community awareness- it is all an important part of ending child abuse in this area.
💙

In loving memory of Stan & Connie Perkins

This year's Circles of Hope Telethon was dedicated to two people whose love, generosity, and presence left a lasting mark on the Carl Perkins Center and so many of us who had the privilege of knowing them.

As Stan and LOLO sing "On My Knees," we remember, we celebrate, and we give thanks for lives that meant so much.

Their impact continues, in every child protected, every family supported, and every bit of hope that continues to bloom.

Stan & Connie, this one was for you.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Turns out, healing blooms here… and so do bloopers. 😂🌸

Somehow, between the interviews, live music, ringing phones, cameras rolling and Telethon magic, we managed to capture quite a few moments that definitely did NOT make the final cut.

Please enjoy the chaos. 😂

Music has a way of bringing people together and when it can also help bring hope and healing, it means even more.

Lindsey shares what it means to use her music to support the Carl Perkins Center and the children and families it serves.

Thank you, Lindsey Russell, for lending your talents to a cause where healing blooms. 🌸

What does hope mean to you? 🌸

It may look a little different to each of us, a safe place, a helping hand, a new beginning, or simply knowing you don’t have to face something alone.

At the Carl Perkins Center, hope is at the heart of everything we do. And because of the incredible people who continue to show up for children and families across West Tennessee, hope keeps growing.

The Soul Shakers Society Band showed up for the Circles of Hope Telethon and brought plenty of energy with them! 🎶🌸

Their message was simple: give, give, give!

And even though Telethon day is over, it’s not too late to give. Your support helps the Carl Perkins Center continue bringing hope and healing to children and families across West Tennessee all year long.

Every gift matters. Every gift helps healing bloom. Link in Bio 🌸
