Thanks to the generosity of the people of Tallahatchie County and surrounding areas, City on a Hill Ministries achieved its goal of raising $25,000 for the Charleston Recovery Center interior build-out. These donations, which were raised between Feb. 1 and April 15, 2023, were matched by the Lawrence Davis Trust of Nashville, Tennessee.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the nonprofit, 501(c)(3) Recovery Center is urged to contact Watson or any board member. All donations are fully tax-deductible. (Photo by Dana Clolinger)
