Whether she’s distributing thousands of dollars to local nonprofits through her family’s foundation or serving meals to teens at The Landing Place in Greenfield, White has made an indelible mark on Hancock County, say those who are familiar with her work.
“Tami has a beautiful heart for others,” said Mary Gibble, president of the Hancock County Community Foundation, which manages the White Family Foundation fund. “She is a thoughtful, caring, generous person who serves quietly yet powerfully.”

GREENFIELD It’s a little known fact that one of Santa’s first stops is always at the Hancock County Fairgrounds each year.
For the past seven years, St. Nick has stopped by on Dec. 24 to drop off gifts that are passed out to those in need, with a little help from his friends. This Christmas Eve was no different.
Several hundred families stopped by the fairgrounds Thursday morning for the annual Day of Love and Caring, picking up toys, personal items and a hot turkey dinner to make their holidays brighter.
