  • The City of Thomaston was honored to give back to our beloved senior community through a heartwarming Senior Care Package Drive! Yesterday, we had the joy of partnering with the incredible Upson Senior Center Director, Mandy Jackson, to bring a little extra magic to the season. Acting as Santa’s helpers, we personally hand delivered care packages filled with love and essentials to seniors in their homes and at Riverside Health and Rehabilitation. It was truly a blessing to see the smiles, give warm hugs, and share moments of joy with those who are sometimes forgotten during the hustle and bustle of the holidays. These interactions remind us of the importance of connection and kindness, especially during this season of giving. A huge THANK YOU to our amazing partners who made this possible through their generous donations and support: 🎄 Highline 🎄 Lazy J Mercantile 🎄 Sandra Thomas Together, we made spirits bright, and we couldn’t be more grateful for a community that cares so deeply. Merry Christmas! #ThomastonCares #HolidayGiving #CommunityLove #SeniorSupport #CityofThomaston

    If you know me, you know I have a deep passion for giving back to the community. Working in the public sector, we don’t often hear phrases like “corporate responsibility”... because serving our community is the heart of what we do. I still believe in taking that responsibility a step further. Each year, I aim to organize two special initiatives: one focused on our environment, and one dedicated to serving people.   This year, I chose something incredibly close to my heart: a Senior Care Package Drive. ❤️ Yesterday, the City of Thomaston partnered with the wonderful Mandy Jackson, Director of the Upson Senior Center, to bring some much-needed joy and cheer to our seniors. Together, we put on our Santa hats, delivered care packages to seniors at their homes, and visited residents at Riverside Health and Rehabilitation.   The joy on their faces, the warm hugs, and the heartfelt smiles reminded me just how important it is to show love and kindness to those who are often overlooked during the holiday season.   A HUGE thank you to our incredible partners for their generous donations, which made this all possible:   🎄 Highline 🎄 Lazy J Mercantile 🎄 Sandra Thomas   It was a pleasure to be Santa’s helper for the day, and I’m so grateful for a community that always comes together to uplift others. This holiday season, I pray that everyone leans into acts of kindness, even small gestures can make a world of difference. 🎅🎁   #CommunityLove #GivingBack #SeniorCare #CityOfThomaston #HolidaySpirit

    Excited to welcome our newest members to the City of Thomaston team! Today, I had the pleasure of orienting five new employees. When I asked them what they thought orientation was for, they initially said, "to fill out paperwork." But they quickly realized it's so much more. It's about introducing them to our culture—who we are, who we serve, and the values that shape our work. Thomaston isn't just local government. It's home. It's our community. It's the blueprint of our collective impact. Thrilled to see how these new hires will contribute to our mission! #TeamThomaston #CommunityFirst #WelcomeAboard
