The Helping Hand Radio Auction
Raising Funds that Strengthen Henry County, Tennessee
The Helping Hand Radio Auction is an annual community fundraiser in January - early March that keeps 100% of its proceeds in Henry County. Local groups donate items, the community bids live on the radio or in-person, and the funds support nonprofits that strengthen families, serve youth, care for seniors, and meet urgent needs across our county.
Since 1979, this auction has been powered entirely by local generosity and volunteer spirit. Last year, Helping Hand raised over $500,000 for more than 90 Henry County organizations.
Join us in supporting the programs that care for our community!

“Being part of Helping Hand opened my eyes to how much this community cares for one another. Our group hosted a day for the first time last year, and we were blown away by the generosity of the bidders and the kindness of the volunteers. It felt good to know that the meals we cooked and the items we brought were helping fund programs that truly make a difference. If you have ever thought about getting involved, I can promise you it is one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have.”
