HOHENWALD, TENNESSEE – At the conclusion of a spring fundraising effort called “Round Up for Children,” Fast Stop Markets was able to gift more than $29,850 to five child advocacy centers across Middle and West Tennessee.
According to a press release from Tajuana Cheshier – The Bramblett Group – Fast Stop Markets’ customers were asked to donate their extra change to child advocacy centers that support and protect victims of child abuse in their communities.
These partner centers include:

We’re also thankful to our customers for stepping up in such a major way for children in their communities. This would not have been possible without their generosity.”
