A big ACTS fundraiser will happen February 1st. Area Christians Together in Service will host a fish fry at 220 Seafood.
Dinner includes trout, fries and coleslaw. Take out only. 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. For a modest price, you’ll receive a generous portion of food, and you’ll be supporting a great, local cause.
“People can come by ACTS to purchase tickets from 8:30 a.m. until 10 a.m. or from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. any weekday,” Lee Anne Peoples, executive director at ACTS, told WIZS News.
At that same location, 201 S. William Street, you can also drop off a donation of non-perishable food and more.

The removal of this old house at 305 S. Chestnut Street in Henderson, the former ACTS location, that was owned by First Baptist Church is going to lead to what will be a beautiful green space. It will complement an area that has been so improved in recent years with the addition of McGregor Hall, the new Henderson Police Station and what will soon be the new Breckenridge Pavilion. Thank you, First Baptist Church!

The following message is from Ronald Cava, Senior Minister, First Baptist Church, Henderson, N.C.:
“The structure was a blessing to many people throughout the years. It was home to many ministers of FBC, then later was used in conjunction with the Baptist Children’s Homes of NC to temporarily house children whose families were in crisis. Untold meals and other good deeds were then served up for decades by ACTS. Unfortunately, the years took a toll on the building. The foundation and other critical aspects of the structure were compromised beyond repair. Removing the building was the right thing to do and new green space will contribute to the resurgence of downtown Henderson as a safe, beautiful, and healthy place to live, work, and worship”.
Citizens Aligned to Take Back Henderson, NC is a group founded in 2015 by Hope Hoyle Howard and fellow members Tommy Haithcock and Heidi Owen with the goal of bringing positive change to the community.
Today, over 4,000 people follow the group’s Facebook page which includes posts designed to bring attention to areas in the community that need work and to help educate the community on the positive aspects of the area.
