Local nonprofit proposes running Tingley meal site; board says it will continue funding
Summary
Donetta Phelps proposed running the Tingley meal site through The Senior Table under a nonprofit she created (Simple Blessings, a 501(c)(3)). The Board stated it intends to continue funding the program at its current level.
Donetta Phelps told the Ringgold County Board of Supervisors on April 6 that she intends to run the Tingley meal site program through The Senior Table under a nonprofit she created called Simple Blessings (a 501(c)(3)). She asked the board to continue supporting the meal‑site program moving forward.
Board members indicated they intend to continue funding the meal site at its current level. Two other local participants, Lywanda Case and Becky Fletchall, joined the meeting discussion in support of the proposal. The board did not record a formal vote or resolution to change the program’s funding level during this meeting; the transcript records the board’s statement of intent to continue support.
The proposal will be subject to any applicable county contracting or grant procedures if state or county funding mechanisms are used; no specific funding sources or dollar amounts were proposed or recorded in the transcript. The meeting record shows the board moved on to other agenda items after the discussion.
