RiverHills Bank, located in Milford, matched donations received at the Highland County Homeless Shelter throughout the month of November.
The goal was to raise $1,000, which was matched by RiverHills Bank. The collaborated efforts were a success, with all the proceeds going to the shelter’s daily operating costs, in turn temporarily housing homeless individuals.
Kim Banks, Vice President/Affordable Housing Manager from RiverHills Bank, presented the check to Tammy Dennis, Administrative Director of HCHS.

Since 2004, the HCHS has been the only state-recognized emergency shelter in, and now the only access point for, homeless recourse in Highland County. The shelter is a 501(c)(3), open 365 days a year, and can assist up to 28 men, women and children for up to 90 days. The HCHS has already served approximately 150 clients in 2019 and wishes to continue providing services to those in need in the future. The shelter operates only on grants, fundraising and of course through the kindness of others, just as RiverHills and the community have recently shown.
“The Highland County Homeless Shelter would like to give a sincere thank you to all who donated and the River Hills Bank for their amazing generosity toward helping us work to reduce homelessness,” Dennis said. “On behalf of the HCHS, we also want to take this opportunity to thank all individuals, groups, organizations, business and churches who have supported the work we do throughout the year.”
