Communities, organizations, and thousands of volunteers have come together to rebuild a city, and restore hope to families throughout the areas affected by the April 27 storm. The city of Sylacauga is one of those communities. Friday, July 15th, Sylacauga joined forces with Tuscaloosa’s One Place to host Family Fun Day. This was a celebration of recovery and rebuilding for all ages. This event was designed as a fun opportunity for residents to relax, enjoy fellowship with the community, and rediscover what makes this city thrive. The fun included food, prizes, games, children’s activities, giveaways, and live entertainment.
In addition to the partnership with TOP, the city of Sylacauga also teamed up with the Coosa Valley Medical Center, Girl Scouts, Blue Bell, Baker and Taylor Publishing, Sanctuary Church, Christ Point Community Church, musicians Matt Jackson and Wade Hamner, the Sylacauga Alliance for Family Enhancement, Inc. and many individual donors to host this celebration of recovery. The members of the city of Sylacauga have done an outstanding job assisting storm victims and their families. Immediately after the disaster, city members began sending volunteers and groups weekly and biweekly to Tuscaloosa to distribute food and supplies to the affected communities. They also provided care packages and necessities for children, along with clothes, linens, and other household items. Words cannot express the acts of kindness shown by this city. A very big THANK YOU goes out to everyone from Sylacauga who helped make this event possible!!!!
