Help for the Holidays
Imagine the holidays without the items that so many us take for granted such as a warm dinner with your family, new clothes or toys for your children. More than ever, individuals and families are struggling with having barely enough to survive during the holiday season and this year is no exception.
Each year TMC holds a holiday fundraiser in support of charities within our local communities. This year, TMC employees raised more than $4,500. In addition, they donated much needed clothing, food and meals.
Their outstanding showing of generosity is especially appreciated during these tough economic times, when giving is so very important.TMC was proud to support the four charities listed below.
