The following is a press release from COUNTRY Financial.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - COUNTRY Financial representatives Cora Christ and Tom Keller partnered with Henley High School to donate $3,000 to support Build My Future, a 48-hour tiny home building event hosted by the Klamath Basin Home Builders Association, to give students hands-on experience in the construction and other trade industries. The donation helped fund necessary supplies to help make the build possible.

A program from COUNTRY Financial called Operation Helping Heroes helped make this happen. Through the program, COUNTRY Financial representatives can identify heroes in their communities and do something personally to give back.

COUNTRY Financial has donated more than $5 million since 2020 to organizations and programs that support teachers, first responders, active-duty service members and veterans, supporting the company’s vision to “enrich lives in the communities we serve.” The Operation Helping Heroes program was created in 2015 to support non-profit events and programs that benefit active-duty service members, veterans and their families. Later, the program expanded to include first responders and teachers.
