❇️ Leon County Recovery Resources | CityClips #247

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

Featured Partner: Impact Week

Post-Helene. We hope that all of you weathered the storm okay. Yes, pun intended. Thankfully, Team CityClips are all good. Once again, Tallahassee dodged a bullet. Unfortunately, our neighboring states to the north, counties to the east and coastal cities south of us were not as lucky. Our hearts go out to the victims and families suffering loss and hardship right now. We found some recovery assistance to support those affected by Helene. We hear the hurricane season is not quite over yet, so good to know about these things for future preparation. In a more positive light, we heard about “The Giving Pump at Shell” by Whole Child Leon and Red Hills Market. Plus, keep an eye out for latest changes for events scheduled this week. ✨

FUEL UP FOR A CAUSE

Whole Child Leon has partnered with Red Hills Market for The Giving Pump at Shell, allowing drivers to fill up their tanks for a good cause. | Tallahassee Chamber

  • Whole Child Leon is a community-wide effort to provide children with the best possible start by ensuring they have everything they need to thrive. They seek to engage the entire community in a commitment to the youngest generation for a brighter future for all.

  • Red Hills Market is a locally-owned group of markets in Tallahassee, renowned for its commitment to the community and convenience. Originally a fuel distributor, the second generation of Rainey Cawthon ownership ventured into the convenience store business in the 1970’s and has grown to offer the Tallahassee area 10 convenient locations to fuel any part of life.

  • The Giving Pump is specially marked with purple signage at all 10 Red Hills Market Shell gas stations to inspire customers to support this local charity when fueling up. With no additional cost when filling up, it’s easy for anyone to participate in the program. | FB Post

  • Started from September 1st through October 31st, a portion of the purchases made by consumers who use the designated pump will directly support Whole Child Leon.
