Wow, what a morning! We were blessed to be a blessing to so many kids and youth at the Back to School shoe and backpack give away. To see the smiles as they picked out their gear was amazing! Great job and thank you A Breath of Praise Church and crew for hosting and thank you Nadir Dalleh and Howard Payne University Men's Basketball team for volunteering.

A Gift That Honors the Past and Builds the Future

During this year's Juneteenth Celebration, the Rufus Hardin Heritage Center was honored to receive an extraordinary $5,000 contribution from ROC toward the restoration of the Heritage Center.

This generous investment moves us one step closer to our $450,000 restoration goal and serves as a powerful reminder that preserving history is a community effort. Gifts like this help ensure that the stories, struggles, achievements, and legacy of Rufus Hardin and our community will continue to inspire generations to come.

To the leadership and members of ROC—thank you for believing in this vision and for helping preserve an important piece of our shared history. Your generosity is making a lasting difference.

Together, we are not simply restoring a building—we are preserving history and building community.

If you would like to join ROC in supporting this important project, we invite you to become part of the story. Every gift brings us closer to opening the doors of the restored Rufus Hardin Heritage Center.
