On Monday, Dec. 22, the Ripley community came together on the town square to support families in need, as reported by Local Source. Thanks to the generosity of residents and the efforts of Palmer Baptist Church, a large supply of diapers, wipes, baby formula, baby food, and non-perishable groceries was collected and distributed to local families.
The event, held at Shalom Jiu Jitsu located at 107 N Main St., took place from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. This initiative aims to provide essential supplies to struggling families during the holiday season and beyond. In addition to the distribution, prayer was offered for those who wished to receive spiritual support.
Palmer Baptist Church’s outreach reflects a strong sense of community spirit in Tippah County, helping ensure that families have access to necessary items. Additional details were not immediately available.
