HCCF Open House and Ribbon Cutting

We had a the best time at our open house!

Thank you to the New Castle-Henry County Chamber of Commerce for coming out and doing a ribbon cutting with us!

We had a good turnout of donors, volunteers, and interested community members.

We are so grateful for this updated space to help us serve our community.

And we are so thankful to all of you who have continued to support HCCF over the years and partner with us to make a difference in Henry County!

Your Community Foundation Connection

Grant Helps Prepare Nursing Students for Their Careers

The Charles and Phyllis States Endowment Fund was started in 2007 by donor, Phyllis States, as a way to remember her husband, carry on his legacy, and help in the community.

The goal of the fund is to assist with replacing and updating equipment and computers at what once was called the Danielson Center but now is the nursing program of the New Castle Career Center.

The nursing program was able to use a portion of the funding available to purchase new BenQ Interactive boards, large whiteboards, electrodes for heart monitors, stop-the-bleed kits, a new interactive and online textbook, and much more.

The students see the value in these new additions to their classroom. Lilly Raines shared, “We have a lot of items to use. I think it benefits us to work with everything and gives us the opportunity to cover more skills. We’re better prepared for clinicals because of these things.”

Counting Blessings and Giving Back

After they both retired in 2011, they continued to volunteer much of their time to great work through Hope Initiative, New Castle City Parks, renovating downtown buildings, and the Henry County Community Foundation. Patty shared, “We wanted to give back to New Castle since New Castle has always given so much to us. We both believe in counting our blessings. We count our blessings every day. Someone else once did it for us, and now we want to pass that along. We want to help our children and grandchildren learn to do the same and be a part of giving back.”
