We are incredibly honored and grateful to share that Hinton Rural Life Center has been awarded a $40,000 Mission Development Grant from the SECU Foundation!
This investment will help strengthen and support our missions department as we continue serving rural communities throughout Western North Carolina and North Georgia through volunteer outreach, safe and healthy home repair projects, accessibility improvements, firewood ministry efforts, and community assistance programs.
As Hinton continues welcoming churches, mission teams, volunteers, and community partners from across the country, this grant will help us build the organizational support and sustainability needed to continue growing our outreach and impact for years to come.
We are deeply thankful to the SECU Foundation and the members of State Employeesโ Credit Union whose generosity and โPeople Helping Peopleโ philosophy make opportunities like this possible. Your support is not only an investment in Hinton, but also an investment in the individuals, families, and communities we are blessed to serve every day.
Partnerships like these remind us that ministry and community impact happen when people come together with a shared heart for serving others.
Thank you, SECU Foundation, for believing in our mission and helping us continue creating meaningful opportunities for service, outreach, and hope in rural communities.
