DID YOU REALIZE…

 o       Over 45% of Henry County students are receiving free or reduced lunches & textbooks

 o       Almost 14% of Henry County children ages 0 -17 are living in poverty

o       20% of our Henry County population has some form of disability

o       If every person working in Henry County would share $1 per week, we could raise over $1,126,000 to provide health & human services in our community

Henry County has men, women, and children with individual and family needs. Often, this need may be situational and one-time assistance can enable them to experience a positive change.  Other times, more effort might be needed to guide the family or individual in their pursuit of self-sufficiency.  Please take a moment to review our brochure outlining the human service programs supported by Henry County United Fund.  Read the sincere messages from our 2008 campaign co-chairs, Major Jay Davis of the Henry County Sheriff’s Department and Tom Sproles of Sproles Family Funeral Home.  Appreciate their perspective of how you can deliver essential support to those in our community with needs.

All of us working together, seeking positive change, can create significant impact...get to the root of problems and implement permanent solutions!

“They ask people & businesses in the fall to donate  money to help those having tough times in our community; I am glad to donate, I trust United Fund and their volunteers to make  good decisions.”
