We are incredibly grateful to share that Leadership Magnolia–Columbia County is hosting a special fundraising event in support of Compassion’s Foundation — and it means more to us than we can put into words. A Night for Compassion On March 14, 2026, community members will gather at Story’s “Hog Heaven” Barn for an evening dedicated to compassion, connection, and community impact.

Compassion’s Foundation has joined Walmart’s Round-Up program, allowing Magnolia residents to support the shelter by donating spare change through mobile checkout. The shelter did not receive federal funding this year and must raise $127,318.74 to remain open.
