"We formed the fund to help facilitate the support and generosity of people who are receptive to the vital needs of our community."

"To ensure our legacy and our community survive for future generations," said Roller, "many of us are choosing the option of charitable giving to support our heritage and community. Our goal is to provide for the future sustainability of Woodbine, our youth, and our school district."

"Individuals and businesses interested in supporting their communities through a community foundation such as the Woodbine Community Foundation have numerous charitable giving options," continue Roller.
