Henry County Community Helps Feed the Hungry

Henry County’s premier golf community, Heron Bay Golf & Country Club is known for giving back to their community year round. In October the master-planned community held their annual Goblin Gallop to raise money for the Hands of Hope Clinic.

This holiday season, Heron Bay is back again for the annual canned food drive.  Residents gathered together cans of food and non-perishable items and the items were donated to three local charities: The Haven House, A Friends House and Five Loaves and Two Fish Food Pantry.

In November, each Heron Bay resident was given a grocery bag donated by Publix. They were asked to fill the bags and leave them outside their doors, where volunteers could come by to pick them up. There was also a donation box in the Heron Bay Lodge and residents were asked to take a box into their offices to increase the amount of food collected. The response was overwhelming. Over 150 bags of food were collected and the Heron Bay community was able brighten the lives of those less fortunate.

The annual food drive and Goblin Gallop are just two of the many activities and charity events that Heron Bay residents participate in throughout the year. The close-knit community can often be found together whether it be at the annual Christmas party or getting ready for the semi annual Heron Bay Garage sale. The warmth and friendship found in Heron Bay makes the master-planned community more than a neighborhood. It’s home.
