Visit Henry County Georgia Implementing Operation Help for Hospitality

In Henry County, more than 2,600 jobs were supported by tourism and tourists generated $299 million in direct spend and $8.40 million in local taxes during 2018. Many of these jobs have been eliminated and the employees furloughed or laid off. To support hospitality workers laid off, furloughed or whose hours have been cut, the Henry County CVB has launched “Operation Help for Hospitality,” a food drive.

Partner Relations Manager, Janna Sveto shares information about Operation Help for Hospitality and how the food drive is working to support the industry that is so vital to the health and vitality of the Henry County tourism industry.

Monetary donations can be made through PayPal at www.VisitHenryCountyGeorgia.com/Support. Monetary donations will be used to purchase items wholesale/bulk through Sutherland’s Food Service to augment food items dropped off at participating businesses in Henry County.
