CONGRATS

to the winner of the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship for Henry County...

“I’m incredibly grateful to receive this scholarship. I want to thank my teachers, the Tri High nominating committee, Natalie Fredenburg, Emily Hamm, Jordan Kibler, and my family for making this possible. It’s truly a dream come true. I’m excited to start college and pursue my goal of becoming a veterinarian.”

The daughter of Mark and Stephanie Houchins, Stella hopes to pursue an undergraduate degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Pre-Vet. She is a three-year participant of the Tri High FFA, currently serving as the chapter president, and a four-year participant on Tri High’s track team. Stella is active in Student Government, Business Professionals of America, and the National Honor Society where she is currently the chapter president.

Your Community Foundation Connection

Finding Joy in Helping Others

Westminster provides a food pantry, clothing closet, utility assistance, help with Christmas, and much more to our community. They strive to go beyond physical needs by providing answers and connections to help people grow and follow a more enriching path.

That’s what happened with Libby. Libby is a regular volunteer in the clothing closet. While she finds her time organizing and sorting to be interesting, she really appreciates the time she has working with families. She shared, “All my life, I have enjoyed helping others. I feel like I’m contributing something and making a difference.”

Monthly Giving to Create a Lasting Impact

“The biggest benefit of donating monthly is being able to set it and forget it. We are faced with so many decisions on a day-to-day basis. If there is something that I know that is important to me, then I want to do everything that I can to make it automatically part of my life.”
