In honor of the Henry County Community Foundation’s 40th anniversary, we are sharing throwback stories of impact and donor and volunteer spotlights.

Community Events

 
 

First Christian Counseling Center is a beacon of hope in our community—offering guidance, healing, and support to individuals and families navigating life’s challenges. They’re here to help people find peace, purpose, and healing.

Every dollar raised helps bring that light to more lives.

So come sing your heart out—or cheer on those who do—and help make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Join us for a first-of-its-kind downtown food festival! Purchase tickets for $1 each and "spend" your tickets at any of our participating downtown restaurants and vendors. All participants are preparing some excellent small portions. You can expect many offerings to cost 5 tickets or less so that you can sample lots of options.
