Tippy's wants the community to know we are in this together.  Two weeks ago Tippy's provided food for the hospital staff thanking them for keeping our community safe.  Last week a gift card was donated to a needed resource, and this week they will be donating pizza to the EMS department.

Teachers and staff of West Central went on a road trip in a caravan to see the smiles of their students. Over 30 decorated cars paraded through Medaryville and Francesville with teachers and staff waving at students and parents along the way.  Some students made encouraging signs to share with parade participants. 

Members of the UPTOWN PROJECT, our local churches, as well as, other members of the community want to ensure the needs of residents are being met during these uncertain times.  The community is answering the call to get groceries, medication, cleaning supplies, etc. for those who are unable to get out or have medical conditions or self-isolating.   There is HOPE.

Residents of Pulaski County and West Central School Corporation are finding sponsors to adopt a high school senior since they will be missing their "last milestone hurrahs'. Each sponsor will reach out to their student with encouraging words, small gifts, and other ways to make this a special time for them. What a creative way to be supportive!
