IAM: The need for food and personal care items to assist the needy of our Henderson County Community remains constant and urgent. Interfaith Assistance Ministry is a humanitarian organization that receives and distributes canned goods and personal care items for distribution to this needy element of our society. Your Executive Board has chosen this organization as a recipient of our efforts in collecting such items for donation. Therefore, we will continue to collect such items at our monthly meetings for donation to IAM. Be sure to remember the less fortunate in our County by supporting the I.A.M. Food Pantry. I.A.M.'s needs are much greater now than ever before! PHOTO GALLERY:
