September 11, 2025 – Sulphur Springs, TX – The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation, an IRS non-profit organization, has a message for the Hopkins County community…thank you! As one of the oldest charities in Hopkins County, we feel we can speak for all local non-profits when we express our appreciation for the generosity of our community.
Since the International Day of Charity was recently celebrated, it is appropriate to share how grateful we are to Hopkins County. It is your donations that keep our doors open and our services in operation.
This is not something new. Think of the Hopkins County United Fund, founded in 1955, which is now United Way. It was a group of local residents who, as Bill Bradford would say, thought our community should “put all its ask-its in one basket.”
If you have been around Hopkins County for a while, you will remember all the Metroplex news coverage Sulphur Springs received in the early 2000s due to the various wooden yard signs that raised money and awareness for local children with illnesses. The focus was on how supportive and benevolent Hopkins County was to one another.
Though much has changed in our community, the practice of neighbors helping neighbors has not been lost.
Another wonderful thing about Hopkins County is that there is a local non-profit for most needs. Many of these organizations are like the Health Care Foundation in that they are powered by a group of local volunteers who donate their time and money to ensure services and support are available to those who need it.
As the Foundation heads toward another milestone, celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Health Care Gala fundraiser, we want to celebrate this community for its generosity, wisdom, and mercy. We realize our success, and that of our fellow local charities, is only possible due to this community. For that we are grateful.
