The Community Healthcore Foundation is seeking individuals in Gregg, Upshur, Rusk, Panola, and Harrison counties who are passionate about the mission of Community Healthcore and willing to serve as a Board of Directors on the Community Healthcore Foundation Board. The Foundation Board meets 6 times a year and hosts two fundraisers. We are looking for individuals who want to make a difference in their community.
The Community Healthcore Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation that was established in 2001 to bring awareness of Community Healthcore services and to raise funds for programs that enhance the lives of people served by Community Healthcore with mental illnesses, substance use disorders, and intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The Foundation provides grants to Community Healthcore programs to assist with the growth and needs of the programs. Some grants provided in the past were used to purchase programming items, provided a retreat for women veterans, provided start-up funds for the Cornerstone project, provided start-up funds for the Marshall day habilitation soap business, Heavenly Scent Soap, as well as many other projects.
Two major fundraising events are held annually allowing the Foundation’s continued support to Community Healthcore. The Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5K is held in Texarkana and Champions for Change Golf Tournament in Longview. Other activities throughout the year include East Texas Giving Day and a Veteran’s Day luncheon.
