Share the Stimulus
Here is an idea if you don't need the extra federal stimulus check resources for your own financial stability. We encourage you to share your stimulus with the Community Foundation to address needs in our community.
We are leaning into creative solutions to the problems caused by this public-health crisis. We are planning for the future and we need your help. Donor giving comes from the heart, and gifts of every size make a difference!
If it fits for you and if now is the right time, we'd love for you to help us, help others.
