Henry County United Fund Board recognizes the following:

• Current social conditions in our community need improvement.

• It is necessary to address not only the symptoms, but the root causes.

• Donors and funders expect evidence that their investments are making a measurable difference.

• Focusing on measurable improvements will increase the likelihood of success.

• Focusing on results will help determine what resources are needed to achieve success.

• Finite resources must be invested in strategies that work.

• It takes the community working together, sharing responsibility and accountability, to create lasting change in community conditions.

The Board of Directors, volunteers and staff are committed to building a strong Henry County community by focusing on long-lasting changes so our children & youth achieve their potential and individuals & families become self-sufficient.

“Volunteering to me is giving something of myself, whether it’s volunteering time or making some sort of contribution to our community such as the Annual Day of Caring.  I feel better about myself when I know I’ve done something to help someone in my community.  I know there is a lot of need in Henry County.  I have been very blessed with many things in my life, and if I can give one ounce of hope or help to someone else, then that’s what it’s all about.”
