Dr. Kim Thomas Smith

Meet Dr. Kim

Kim Thomas Smith is a Georgia native, raised with deep Southern roots and values that taught her leadership is not about titles; it is about responsibility. When you see a need, you step in. When people are struggling, you show up.

When she chose Henry County, it was not by accident. She was drawn to its small-town, countryside feel, its sense of unity, and its people. What began as a place to live became much deeper. Henry County did not just become her home—it became her calling.

She has also served through Helping In His Name Ministries, Inc. and other outreach efforts that meet immediate needs while helping people move forward, organizing food giveaways, toy drives, Angel Tree programs, and holiday assistance so families have meals to share and children do not feel forgotten during hard seasons.

Kim is married to Harris Smith, Jr., and is a proud bonus mother to Nigel Smith. Family remains the foundation of her life and the lens through which she serves Henry County.

Kim’s service shows up where people live, worship, and need help most. She has worked with churches, nonprofit partners, apartment complexes, schools, and volunteer networks to make sure resources reach real people, not just paperwork.

She has made wellness calls to seniors through the One2One Telephone Assurance Program with the Atlanta Regional Commission, mentored and tutored students, supported youth through community programs, and helped neighbors navigate systems that can feel confusing and overwhelming.

She has also done the unglamorous work that keeps communities strong: organizing document shred events to protect residents from fraud, participating in park cleanups and beautification efforts, coordinating financial literacy workshops, and building volunteer programs that bring people together to serve.

None of it has been about attention. It has been about responsibility. It has been about faith. It has been about community.
