Happy Independence Day from your community foundation! #IndependenceDay #4thofJuly
These kids are precious! Noah, Rylee and Chloe are using special equipment to help them see, learn, and better interact with the people they care about. A grant to Sight Savers America during our fall discretionary grant cycle made this possible. bit.ly/3n9oGr2

So many of you have asked how you can help us during these scary times. The best way right now to help Camp Able - & all those affected by the #MesquiteHeat - is to donate to the @cfabilene’s Fire Relief Funds. This will help support those in need and support local fire depts
