The archway at Clock Corner was installed this week in time for the Harvestfest event. Thank You to the very generous anonymous donor who made this archway possible. Things are taking shape at our new downtown green space. Thanks to all the donors along the way who support our community. There's still TIME as we have not reached our fundraising goal for CLOCK corner.

A big thank you to First Interstate Bank for their generous $1,000 donation to the Hendricks Community Foundation! This support will help us continue our efforts to improve and enhance Hendricks’ public spaces.

A special thank you to Greg Olson, a Hendricks native and Market President of First Interstate Bank, who reached out to us about the opportunity to apply for support through First Interstate’s community giving program and encouraged us to pursue it. Greg helped us navigate the process, and our request was quickly approved!

We also wanted to make other local organizations aware of the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation grant and giving opportunities. If your organization has a project that could benefit the community, this may be a great resource to explore.

We’re grateful to Greg and First Interstate Bank for recognizing the importance of investing in the community and for helping support the continued improvement of Hendricks!
