We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of generosity shown during our Winter Coat Drive for the Tea Area Cupboard. Because of YOU, the Tea Area Cupboard is now full of coats, hats, gloves, and winter gear ready to help keep our neighbors warm this season.
A special thank you to the local businesses who served as donation collection sites and made this drive possible:
• Pizza Ranch
• Tea Ace Hardware And Rentals
• Reliabank Tea
• Fareway Stores Tea
• Squealer's Smoke Shack
Your willingness to open your doors and support this effort truly reflects the heart of our community.
If you or someone you know is in need of winter gear or food assistance, the Tea Area Cupboard is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2–7 PM at:
📍 125 S Main Ave, Tea, SD 57064
Tea continues to show up for Tea—and we couldn’t be more proud. 💙
