It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow. - 1 Corinthians 3:7

February 4, 2018 - HGH had our Year-end Board Members Meal where we took the chance to fellowship with each other in a way that we hadn't been able to...we had some great conversations about our accomplishments of the past year. It was a wonderful meal and we want to thank the Management and Staff at Boca in Hickory for their hospitality. It wasn't all play though. We had a few awards that went out to recognize excellence within our group. Sarah Bracho was recognized for Outstanding Leadership and Joe Long received our MVV (Most Valuable Volunteer) Award. I want to say thank you to them and to all the individuals and organizations that have come out and participated in making HGH a success. 2018 is going to be a breakout year as a result of this teamwork! In addition, the Founder Marcus Miller and Co-Founder Renee' Miller made a donation of $5,000.00 in the memory of Renee's father Fred D Abernethy. This money will be set aside in a special account to be used solely for fundraising efforts that will ultimately support our mission moving forward. Marcus plans on seeking additional matching funds to bolster this account so that we can better partner with other organizations in fundraising in the community. We believe that there will be opportunities that will arise when our mission and the mission of others collide, and when they do we want to be able to assist. These funds will always be replenished as a result of our fundraising drive...this will provide the sustainability needed for HGH to continue the work we do. If you would like to support this effort with a donation or through volunteerism please contact us through facebook or through our website at: www.hickorygreenwayharvest.org
