A Message from the Founder
|
The Nancy A. Herrin Foundation Inc.
|
In honor of my late mother the Nancy A. Herrin Foundation Inc. was created. The foundation
will continue to carry on what my mother believed in: the community she grew up in and
supporting children. Giving back to the community is very important to me. I can remember
while being a young child I looked up to people who were making a positive impact in our
communities locally and state wide. I would like to help children in our communities in
anyway possible. Helping our children's future is one of the most valuable investments that
will be made with the Nancy A. Herrin Foundation Inc.
Literacy, mental health awareness, and various other issues that affect how individuals live
their lives are important. The foundation along with the help of supporting members will
promote awareness of these areas. The foundation will also make contributions to food
banks, homeless shelters, organizations, and other sources that help individuals who are in
need.
I see the Nancy A. Herrin Foundation Inc. as a way to look more closely at our communities
by focusing on what is needed. Who needs help and coming up with ideas on how to make
communities a safer place for our families. All in all this will be a great learning process.
Just a small way of contributing to community growth. Every goal and accomplishment set
by the foundation will act as a stepping stone for a positive future.
This sounds like a lot of work but with time, patience, and hard work it can be done one day
at a time. I hope that young people will look up to those who will take part in the foundation
and get inspired to do good things for the community. Not only will it be good for the
community but it will also be good for the individual to know they have contributed in some
way, shape, or form in keeping their community going in a positive direction.
