Henry County Memory Fund was founded in 2014 to help people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The fund was established to assist caregivers by paying for items such as prescriptions, durable medical equipment, respite care, transportation, and providing housing assistance as needed. The costs for the items or services are paid to the vendors only. At the end of the year, a donation of up to a 10% of the funds raised will be donated for research for Alzheimer’s and Dementia to continue in the fight for a cure.
The 2024 Committee Members are: Christa Atchison, Jenny Bradley, Stephanie Brister, Tonya Dody, Kathy Garnett, Suzanne Kohl, Amanda Long, Nichole Morales, Crystal Norris, Bretta Plumlee, Ranae Walrath and Steven Ward.
