Martinsville & Henry County, VA - We believe in hope and opportunity for all

Embracing Opportunity

On top of the economic growth here in Martinsville and Henry County, there’s an economic wave building in the 60 miles that surround MHC, and the question isn’t whether it will reach us. The question is whether we’ll be standing on the shore waiting for it, or already in the water rowing toward it.

A New Chapter

This year, the Harvest Youth Board will transition its annual Thanksgiving Eve Dinner into the Community Thanksgiving Table Fund, a new initiative designed to support multiple community-led Thanksgiving meals and gatherings throughout Martinsville-Henry County.

$2.5 million awarded

The Harvest Foundation’s Board of Directors approved six grants totaling more than $2.5 million to support education, workforce development, cultural preservation, community health, and civic infrastructure across Martinsville-Henry County for the second quarter of 2026.

Our Future

The Our MHC community visioning process is off to a strong start! Since engagement activities launched in May, more than 450 residents have participated in nearly 20 events.

We build hope. Let’s work together to create a community where all envision a positive future for themselves and for Martinsville-Henry County.

Hope and opportunity

for all

The Harvest Foundation is a local foundation that was established in 2002 from the sale of the Memorial Hospital. Our goal is to create a vibrant Martinsville-Henry County for all citizens. We are continuously working towards this goal by investing in programs that stimulate economic development, promote education and improve the quality of healthcare.
