In October of 2006, Conewago Enterprises took the important step of establishing a Charitable Foundation Committee (CEFC) comprised of 12 dedicated employees. The mission of the CEFC is to provide financial assistance within the communities where our employees reside.
As a committee, we are extremely proud that in 2020, through our Company’s success and amazing clients, who support our efforts to give back to the community, has allowed us the ability to donate $245,000 to local charity and families in need; as well as, maintain a donating budget of over $100,000 every year consecutively since 2017.
The committee works to distribute these funds every year, from 2006 to 2020, hundreds of deserving charities, charitable events, senior citizens, families in need, and children impacted with misfortune. From local hospitals and nonprofits to a deserving neighbor in need, the CEFC maximizes our efforts with a focus on community.
Some of the organizations who have benefited include: Olivia’s House, The Heather Baker Foundation, Jessica & Friends, Sweet Charities, For the Love of a Veteran, Hope Ministries, and so many more, of which the CEFC has given $2,000-$3,000 in donations to their organizations. But the donations do not stop there.
Each committee member is required to find a family in need during the Christmas season. Each committee member donates $500 through the purchase of Christmas gifts for the children and food for a Christmas dinner, which is then delivered to the home by the committee member.
The CEFC has donated to various community Mini-Thons for local schools as well, including, Conewago Valley Intermediate School, Dover High School, Gettysburg Area High School, Hanover High School, Littlestown High School, Spring Grove High School, and South Western High School.
