Senator Secures $15K Grant For Henniker’s White Birch Community Center

HENNIKER, NH — On Tuesday, State Sen. Dan Innis of Bradford delivered a $15,000 grant check to Henniker’s White Birch Community Center received from The Headlands Foundation.

White Birch Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides services including childcare, after school activities, and active living for seniors.

Statement from Sen. Innis:

“I was honored to help the White Birch Community Center in Henniker secure this grant to aid them in their mission to provide programs and services that support learning and active living activities for children, families, and seniors.

I remember my first visit to White Birch two years ago. I didn’t know what to expect but was amazed by the children and the professional services being offered. I was equally impressed by the number of seniors playing cards and other games. White Birch does exceptional work helping keep social networks alive to help seniors age gracefully. It was truly one of the most unique places I’ve ever experienced.

I also would like to thank The Headlands Foundation for their generous grant. The mission of The Headlands Foundation, of which I am a Board member, is to provide assistance to communities like ours in housing and social service programs such as those offered by the White Birch Center. Our goal is to support communities through funding programs that benefit our children, working parents, families, and seniors.”

“We are pleased to support the White Birch Center. Our grant provides resources to the Henniker community for development and well-being programs that will strengthen the fabric of the community. We look forward to working with Senator Innis in the future to help communities, like Henniker, realize their potential,” said Larry Spera, Executive Director of The Headlands Foundation.

“White Birch Center is the cornerstone of the Henniker community. Our services and programs touch the lives of our citizens from cradle to cane. We would not be able to meet the growing demands for what we do without the financial support of organizations like The Headlands Foundation. We are very grateful to The Headlands Foundation and Senator Dan Innis for their generosity and commitment to organizations like White Birch Center,” said Marc McMurphy, Executive Director of White Birch Center
