Centra Team Members took great pride in nominating organizations that are important to them, and we are proud to be able to support the communities we serve with these donations.  We chose to support mostly local non-profits, along with few national organizations like the Red Cross and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention” said Community Involvement Officer, Jenni Carr.

Some of the non-profits Centra will support with this initiative include: Turning Point, Love Chapel, Foundation for Youth, Shop with a Cop, Columbus and Edinburgh Fireman’s Cheer Fund, Girl’s Inc. Jackson County, Decatur County United Fund, Shelby County Cancer Association, Open Door Youth Services, Second Helpings and more.

Selected organizations are currently being notified of the donations with the funds being delivered to the selected non-profits by the end of November.
