Season of Giving in MHC

The holidays are here and the warm feelings of the season have taken hold of us all. Holiday cheer can be found in nearly every store, business, and locale. It is also the season of giving: to friends, family, and those less fortunate than ourselves. Perhaps you are looking for a new way to give this holiday season? Consider making a charitable donation to a local Martinsville-Henry County organization. 

From local charities to museums, many organizations rely on the generosity of patrons to maintain their services. Pick a donation that appeals to your causes or interests.

Want to keep history alive? Consider a donation to the Martinsville-Henry County Heritage Center & Museum, FAHI African-American Heritage Museum or Bassett Historical Center.

Want to support scientific discovery in the commonwealth? Become a member of the Virginia Museum of Natural History.

Enjoy the arts? Perhaps a donation to Piedmont Arts, TheatreWorks Community Players or the Patriot Players would suit you.

Enjoy sports and recreation? Become a friend of the Smith River Sports Complex.

These are just some of the many options available. Whatever you decide, your donations will go toward keeping arts, culture, and recreation alive in Martinsville-Henry County.

Don't forget, most charitable donations are tax-deductible. So, give a little extra this holiday season and you won't regret it if you do.
