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.
