OUR IMPACT
Areas of focus
Every initiative below reflects a cause Ben cared about, carried forward through ongoing support in Morris and the Grundy County area.
School Supplies & Education Support
Support for local students, including school supplies, fees, and paying for lunches.
Holiday Gifting & Meals
Holiday gifts for children and gift cards for parents, who could use a little extra help, as well as turkeys as gift cards during Thanksgiving.
Youth Financial support
Direct assistance for local youth pursuing sports, activities, or passions that would otherwise be inaccessible
Annual MCHS Scholarship
A yearly $1,000 or $2,000 scholarship to one graduating senior at Morris Community High School, who has plans to pursue any form of education post-graduation.
Support for Unhoused & Hungry Neighbors
Filling local food pantries and covering the costs of hotel stays for unhoused people, particularly during the winter months.
Meeting Needs As They Come
Not every need fits neatly into a category…diapers for a parent in a tough spot, a GoFundMe for a life-altering illness. We step in where it’s needed most.
WORKING TOGETHER
Organizations we support
We are proud to have donated to these organizations and support their ongoing initiatives.
