WTSP/WTRC Staff Donate Over 200 Stuffed Animals to Local Charity

HENNING – Last Thursday, employee’s at West Tennessee State Penitentiary (WTSP) and Women’s Therapeutic Residential Center (WTRC) came together to collect and donate over 200 stuffed animals for children in need.  The stuffed animals will be donated to the Carl Perkins Center in Tipton County and used to comfort abused children who go to the center for counseling sessions.

Jonathan Lebo, WTSP Warden said giving back to the community is important to the staff.  “The staff at WTSP are always looking out for our community. We find ways to give back any way we can when we see a need.”  Warden Lebo goes on to add, “The employees really went above and beyond for the Carl Perkins Center and helping the local children.”

Many of the employees who work at the facility live in Tipton County and this toy collection is just one of many community outreach efforts employees contribute to throughout the year.
