You Can Help the Walker Family

Today's Daily News Journal prints an article about how to help the Walker family who lost all their belongings and home in a fire earlier this month. To help, according to the DNJ:

Two special events to help raise money for Ricky and Dawn Walker and their children Nicci and John Charles, who lost their La Vergne home to a fire March 11, will take place Saturday.

Sanctuary Church is holding a yard sale for the family. The sale begins at 7 a.m. and will last until everything is gone. The event is rain or shine and will be moved inside the church, located at 814 S. Church Street in Murfreesboro, in case of bad weather.

For more information, visit the church's Web site at www.untiltherapture.com/sanctuary. Anyone interested in donating baked goods or other items should contact Wendy Page at 615-216-7510 or via e-mail at sanctuary@untiltherapture.com.

That evening, The Father's House Church in La Vergne will hold a gospel singing benefit. It starts at 6 p.m. at the church, 599-B Waldron Road (near the La Vergne Fire Hall). James Wade will host the free event, during which a collection will be taken for the Walker family. Performers include The True Hearts, Bobby Glendy and Born Again.

Ricky and Dawn Walker said the family's clothing and furniture needs have been met, but they still need help stocking the pantry. Those who would like to help may deposit funds at any First Tennessee Bank location in Rutherford County.
