Each holiday season, employees build the Community Fund by contributing to one or more charities, places of worship, food pantries and the like.
Employees can contribute in the form of cash, check or payroll deduction.
Since its founding in 1982, the Community Fund has disbursed millions of dollars to help fight disease, further medical research, stock food pantries, support services at senior centers, supplement literacy and educational programs, fund disaster relief and much, much more. Funds are disseminated through pastoral teams and single-service agencies that have direct contact with people in need. We believe that decision-making should be pushed to the level closest to where help is provided. In return, we ask that recipients write a brief letter to inform us how the gifts have helped people in the community. They can earmark funds to the charitable causes of their choosing.
