HORNE Community Foundation Gives Back to Four Non-Profits
$100,000 in total giving benefits organizations from across the United States.
Recently, HORNE, a professional services firm, demonstrated its commitment to community support by announcing generous donations to four charities. These contributions, fulfilling specific missions, total $100,000 and aid organizations dedicated to veteran reintegration, disaster recovery, education, and community rebuilding.
Support for Charities Making a Difference
The recipients of this initiative span a wide range of vital services. Among them is Alabama Veteran, a Birmingham-based non-profit that aids veterans in transitioning to civilian life. Through this organization, veterans can find purpose and connect with others who understand their experiences, offering a pathway to community engagement and volunteerism.
Another recipient, the Bear Trail Project in North Carolina, focuses on restoring areas affected by disasters. This initiative, supported by Fairview Christian Fellowship, mobilizes local contractors to help communities recover by repairing infrastructure and providing essential resources for rebuilding.
Additionally, the Magnolia Speech School located in Mississippi plays a crucial role in the development of language and communication skills in children with speech and hearing challenges. They work tirelessly to empower these children and their families, ensuring they have the necessary support to thrive socially and emotionally.
Finally, the Mennonite Disaster Service, with operations in Pennsylvania, stands out for its commitment to helping individuals and families recover from disasters. This organization is dedicated to providing the support and resources needed to rebuild homes and restore hope in affected areas.
