Aurora Area Community Foundation

We are kicking off our third round of the Hometown Partners Giving Circle.

For just $100, you can join us in making a difference in the communities we serve. These towns are Aurora, Marionville and Verona.

We will be offering a grant round after the holidays to support a local cause.

Changemakers: Celebrating good things across the Ozarks.

Jim Carr's is the best kept secret in town. Mary Pendergrass and her crew knocked it out of the park for us last night as we welcomed the Children's Smile Center board of directors to town for the August quarterly meeting.

We had a fruit and cheese tray too heavy to carry and some chicken salad sandwiches paired with some ham salad sandwiches. Top all of that off with homemade brownies and chips and we had some happy campers.

The dinner was made possible through the Community Foundation of the Ozarks and Youth Empowerment as a Thank You to the Smile Center, one of our community partners.
