Operation TLC to open for volunteers: "PASCAGOULA -- Volunteers will have a clean, home-away-from home in Pascagoula beginning Sept. 24 thanks to countless volunteer hours and donations.
More than 100 volunteers, city leaders, concerned citizens and passersby attended the 10 a.m. ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration. Lady Patrice Green opened the ceremony with a lively rendition of 'We Are Family,' thanking individuals throughout the song for their contributions to the center.
Operation TLC is the brainchild of Tammy Agard of Montana and Annie Card of New Hampshire. The two ladies founded Mississippi Home Again and spearheaded the creation of the volunteer headquarters.
'Tammy and I have a simple philosophy,' Card said. 'We ask for help all the time, all day long, from everyone we see. The ones who answer no are not the ones we work with. The ones who answer yes are the ones we work with because no is not okay until Mississippi is okay.'"
