Every summer, as the Mississippi heat settles over our campus, something else settles in too…a season of quiet giving. While children laugh on playgrounds and chase fireflies in the evening, donations at Tupelo Children’s Mansion begin to dip. It’s a pattern we’ve come to know and prepare for, but it’s never easy.

If I could speak plainly… the needs simply don’t take a vacation.

Our children still need three warm meals a day.
Our staff still offer counseling, education, and care.
Our lights must stay on, our water must run, our campus must remain a safe haven.

That’s why our Christmas in July campaign is so vital!

Each year, this special appeal helps us bridge the summer gap, keeping operations strong and spirits lifted. While others are thinking of beaches and barbecues, you have the opportunity to bring the hope and joy of Christmas into the heart of summer.

You can be the miracle someone is praying for.

Your gift this July, whether it’s a one-time donation or an extra monthly gift, directly supports the heartbeat of TCM:

• Safe housing
• Nutritious meals
• Loving staff
• Life-changing programs
• Christ-centered care

And perhaps most importantly, your giving shows our children they are not forgotten. Even when the focus around us shifts, you keep showing up. That faithfulness doesn't just fund our mission; it fuels it.

This summer, will you help us turn the heat of July into the warmth of Christmas? Together, we can ensure the Mansion continues to be a place where hope lives, not just at Christmastime, but all year long.

With deep gratitude,

Dr. Chad A. Parker, DSW, LCSW, LPC
President & CEO

P.S. Every gift given during Christmas in July is a lifeline. Help us stay strong during these challenging months, so we can continue to do what God has called us to do.
