September 5, 2023 - The Shelby County Children’s Advocacy Center (SCCAC) recently received a grant in the amount of $10,000 from the John Harris Community Fund at East Texas Communities Foundation (ETCF). We are grateful to ETCF for their continued support of our agency and their commitment to improving the lives of children and families in our community who have been impacted by abuse.

September 1, 2023 - The ladies of the Deep East Texas Council of Government's Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) meet every Wednesday and Thursday in Timpson on Park Plaza to finish quilts by hand stitching. The owner of the quilt provides the lining, batting and quilting thread to complete the quilt.

The money that the RSVP Quilters make is then given to four Timpson service organizations once a year. Timpson RSVP Quilters are Molly Campbell, Judy Samford, and Jeanie Rhodes. They donated checks of $400 to each of the four service organizations in Timpson.
