BRISTOL — The Tapply-Thompson Community Center recently received a $12,000 grant from the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction.
Director Leslie Dion shared that, with the help of the auction, the center was able to provide over $29,000 in scholarships in 2019. For the first time, the center also requested additional funds for Operation Warm – Newfound, and received $2,000. In 2018, the Lakes Region Santa Fund applied for funding through the auction to allow Newfound to host their own Operation Warm program. A team from Bristol Community Services, Bristol Fire Department and TTCC oversees the program. Over 100 winter items for local youth were received with the funds. The group needs hats, mittens, scarfs, and gloves for next winter, and is now accepting donations of items.
