As Fall changes the landscape around us and cool temperatures dominate our days, we shift our thoughts toward the holidays.

This time of year, many of us begin to plan for Thanksgiving, Christmas and time with family. But as we prepare for dinners, get-togethers and gifts, you are encouraged to take a moment to remember those who are not fortunate to surround themselves with the comforts we often take for granted.

Remember your neighbors this Fall and Winter by giving what you can to the charity of your choice. There are a food pantries, coat drives, and Christmas funds collecting items and funds throughout the county.

As the holidays approach, please help ensure that everyone in Tyler County can enjoy the comforts of home and a good meal courtesy of our charitable donations.
