Lealman Communities and the Safety Fund

Special recognition goes to Tyrone Wal-Mart and Diston Plaza Publix.  Their desire to “give back” to the community of Lealman was instrumental in bringing the Safety Fund into existence. 
Both stores have held fundraising events and have made generous contributions to the Safety Fund in the past, and are promising more support in the near future.  Their commitment to local charities and to the people of Lealman is to be recognized and applauded!
