The Wilkins House in Campbellsburg renovation project will be getting a boost with a $5,000.00 grant for rehabilitation of the historic home.

Food insecurity in Washington County is a huge problem.  The Washington County Food Bank has been awarded a $5,000.00 grant to purchase food and Dare to Care has been awarded a $10,000.00 grant to support various school food pantries in our community.

The Humane Society of Washington County has been awarded a $471.94 in order to finish furnishing the medical room of the new building.

In addition to supporting all of these projects, the Touch Tomorrow Funds help send adult learners back to school to finish their degrees by giving funds to the Education Matters Initiative.  And, donors put books in the hands of our youngest citizens by allocating $30,000.00 per year for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program in Washington County.

Donors to the Washington County Community Foundation serve as a beacon of hope, creating a legacy of care and compassion that shines for generations to come.
