Sixty years ago when our organization was founded, we raised $30,000 to support eight local social service organizations in our area. That first year, more than 95% of our town’s residents contributed because they knew this was their "community fund." Since then, thousands of donors and hundreds of businesses have contributed to The Community Fund to improve the lives of our families, friends and neighbors.
