From the Director

If you are really thankful, you will share.

-W. Clement Stone

The holiday season is officially upon us. With Thanksgiving come the family gatherings, delicious feasts and times to be thankful for our blessings of this year and throughout our lives.

At the Piqua Community Foundation, we are very grateful that we have wonderful, generous donors in Piqua who have supported our Foundation in ways both large and small. Those who serve as our board members, our committee members and as donors to our funds all help make the Foundation vibrant and successful.

Visit our “news’ page to read the story of Tom and Helen Smith, whose recent bequest will be used to assist a variety of local charitable organizations. Those who knew the Smiths will remember them as good friends and neighbors; the Foundation can help turn their generosity into tangible assistance to those in our community who need it. We hope you will also enjoy the stories about those who have received funding for current local projects, also located on the “news” page.

The Smiths’ story may spark an interest in you to show your thankfulness by sharing. Please feel free to contact me with your thoughts and questions about ways you can share with those in need. Happy holidays!
