T. Phillip Carlyle, a local builder in Morristown, has decided to pay it forward.
This week, the T. Phillip Carlyle Foundation was formed. It is a longtime goal of Phillip Carlyle, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of the community members of Hamblen and surrounding counties.
Friday morning, the Foundation presented $5,000 to the Ministerial Association Temporary Shelter, better known as MATS.
