Funds raised at the Haywood Healthcare Foundation’s annual golf tournament will go toward food insecurity among children and the elderly in Haywood County.
The Foundation is donating all proceeds from the tournament to two programs:
• Meals on Wheels, which feeds the elderly.
• Food backpacks for needy school children to take home food on weekends.
“This is going to be a great event raising money for our nonprofit health foundation,” said Cece Hipps, the president of the Haywood County Chamber of Commerce and the chairperson — along with her husband, Rob — of the HHF’s golf tournament committee. “All the proceeds will go toward the food insecurity issue some people face in the county.”
