Celebrating 25 Years!
July 15, 2008
You will be seeing that a lot over the next year as the Community Foundation celebrates its twenty-fifth year of charitable leadership on the
Eastern Shore. From humble beginnings, the Foundation has grown to have a major impact on the quality of life for thousands of local citizens each year.
We now find ourselves in challenging economic times that place great stress on many local families and our communities – times that make the work done by the Foundation and other local charities even more important than ever. Each day, we seem to be bombarded by negative economic news. In this environment it is natural to hold back and be reluctant to give away what we have. But, now is when our generosity is needed most. Take time now to look into your heart, count your blessings and seek ways to share those blessings with those less fortunate. It is in these tough economic times that we all need to reach out.
Over the last twenty-five years the community has generously supported the growth of the Community Foundation. In the coming months, we will be digging into those resources to reach out to our community in this time of need, but we and the charitable organizations we support need your help. Act now. Find a charity or faith-based organization that is doing good and important work in the community and reach out to them. Now is no time to hold back. Our community needs us and is counting on us.
As the Community Foundation begins our celebration of twenty-five years of charitable work, join us in our celebration and help us energize the philanthropic spirit of our community. Now is the time for us to continue the tradition of generosity and charitable giving that the
Eastern Shore is known for. Please find a way to help.
