The HOME Charitable Foundation has been instrumental in getting the Kensington Community Store up and running.  In January 2006 the foundation was able to fund and open the HOME Community Wellness Center in Kensington.

We are continually striving to help the residents of our area better themselves and their community they live in.  The annual fundraiser is held in October of each year.  Your support of the community through giving to the HOME Charitable Foundation would be very much appreciated.  Contributions can be made to our financial institution:  Farmer's National Bank.
