We are very fortunate to live in a community that wraps its arms around friends and neighbors in need.
With your help, during the last week of October, we awarded 52 HPCF annual grants, totaling $512,550, for programs and services young children, teens, families, and older members of our community need to thrive – and sometimes just to survive. This funding will be used to address unmet needs in five main categories: education, human services, services for individuals with disabilities, senior services, and the creative and cultural arts.
