About Us

The Houston Community Association is a non-profit organization which supports the surrounding communities of Shelby County. Some of this support includes the following:

• providing $1,000 and $500 academic scholarships to qualified Houston High School students
• sponsoring Shelby County Sheriff D.A.R.E Week at our facility
• sponsoring three blood drives at our facility each year

In addition to the above, we have also provided monetary support as follows:

• Houston High School jazz band at our annual dinners
• Donations for the After Prom Committee for Houston High School’s junior class
• Houston High School yearbook staff by purchasing a silver level advertisement in the yearbook
• Donation of $1,000 to Hardin Elementary School’s Destination Imagination for their trip to Missouri to compete in the global competition.

The majority of our yearly funds are generated through food sales at the Houston Food Booth during the Shelby County Fair and the Lake Festival weekend at Ft. Loramie State Park in the fall. Our residents and association members are key to staffing these yearly fundraisers that have been supported over the years. High school students who volunteer can apply this experience to the Houston Community Association Scholarship opportunities each year.
