—Nelson Mandela

The Talmadge family is deeply committed to helping children in need through local organizations, whether they need a home, books, an opportunity, or unwavering support and encouragement. And, it has always been that way.

Improving kids’ lives through love, support and encouragement of any kind—this is what grounds us and makes us feel part of something greater than ourselves.

MENtors
