CRESTVIEW — Tom Thumb Stores, headquartered in Crestview, supported Children in Crisis by donating over $21,000 from its recent Charity Golf tournament. 

Tom Thumb Inc. President Mark Salisbury and Vice President of Operations Teresa Smith made the presentation.

“We have been blessed with great support from the community to build the CIC Neighborhood,” Ken Hair, CIC president and CEO, said. “However, it’s a struggle to find the necessary funding to feed, clothe and care for the foster children and sustain operations of our foster homes. 

“Support from Tom Thumb is a tremendous help in our efforts to provide a safe haven to the abused, neglected and abandoned children that don’t have a home.”

The CIC Neighborhood has an emergency shelter for children removed without notice from an unsafe environment, family foster homes and a teen transition home for foster children aging out of care.
