Thank you, Elizabethton Federal Savings Bank , for your incredibly generous $2,000 donation to the Elizabethton Senior Center!

In the face of the recent loss of county funding, our community has continued to remind us that we are not facing this challenge alone. Time and again, local businesses, organizations, and individuals have stepped forward to invest in the lives of the older adults we are honored to serve.

This generous gift from Elizabethton Federal Savings Bank will help us continue providing programs, activities, resources, and a welcoming place where seniors can find friendship, support, and connection.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our mission and for standing beside the seniors of Carter County. Your kindness is making a real and lasting difference.

We are incredibly honored to have the Community Yard Sale featured in the Elizabethton Star, but the real story isn't about the event—it's about the people behind it.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to Shelly McMurray, Brittney George, Samantha Forrester, and the amazing staff of Sonshine Children's Academy for seeing a need and simply deciding to help.

We are also deeply grateful to every volunteer, every person who donated items, donated funds, and everyone who came out to shop and support. Together, you made a difference not only for the Elizabethton Senior Center, but also for the Boys & Girls Club of Elizabethton/Carter County and the Carter County Animal Shelter.

Your kindness is a beautiful reminder that when neighbors come together with a servant's heart, incredible things happen.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for reminding us that we truly live in a community that cares. ❤️
