Mooresburg Community Association
Our Sponsors
Food, friends, and fellowship help people become more neighborly. Our local sponsors ARE our neighbors…literally. They lift us up and engage with our community center and thrift store on a daily basis. They stop by with food. They drop off a check. They deliver “good stuff” to our Friends & Family Thrift Store. Our national sponsors believe in what we are doing and send their support. Other national sponsors reach out to Mooresburg, TN…Some have even been able to visit and see our work in
action and experience the beautiful mountain views.
A huge thank you to Meals on Wheels America, for our 2024 Emergency Response & Pet Grants, and our 2025 Pet Grant to continue our Paws & Claws Supplemental Program.
