As Foundation Bank Community Foundation wrapped up 2018, we had an opportunity to share a little extra with some of our grantees. After the new year the foundation provided grocery store gift cards to help organizations provide a boost to the neediest families grocery budget and bus passes to assist adults entering or reentering the work force.
Our organizations were thrilled!
“It means so much to our job trainees as often the lack of transportation or access to a healthy meal seriously impacts their ability to attend training or their internships. It is unusual for a foundation to be so spontaneous in their philanthropy. It means the world to us!”
“Christmas all over again. This is so useful for our clients”
“I just opened the most wonderful surprise gift from you – bus passes and gift cards!! – we ALWAYS need these.”
“Getting to work those first few weeks before a client gets their first paycheck is critical to their success. Thank you!”
“We are honored and grateful you thought of us to receive this donation. These gift cards will enable our local food pantries to better meet the needs of families in the community.”
