Thank You to Our Veterans The Danville area has a permanent reminder that “Freedom is Not Free.” A Veterans Memorial dedicated in 2007 in Dan Daniel Memorial Park features a black granite wall inscribed with the names of all local men who died in all of our nation’s conflicts from the Revolutionary War to our current War on Terrorism. More than 6,400 bricks have been engraved to honor veterans of all branches of service, not only from the local area but also from any location, any war, or any time period. In honor of Veterans Day, please consider making a donation in honor or in memory of a loved one, and please take time to visit the Veterans Memorial.

Agency Emergency Fund and Disaster Relief Fund Natural disasters can happen anywhere, anytime. Our community recently experienced tremendous damage from Hurricane Michael. Please keep in mind that The Community Foundation offers an Agency Emergency grant program for area nonprofits that have experienced an emergency and need funding fast. Please click here for more information on the Agency Emergency Grant guidelines. The Community Foundation also established a Disaster Relief Fund in 2013 to accept and strategically disperse local, regional and national funding on behalf of local disaster response and relief efforts. CFDRR will be convening a meeting with area agencies and community leaders to discuss a plan for Disaster Relief programming and funding. By having this meeting, The Community Foundation hopes to use the Disaster Relief Fund as a catalyst for area emergency response and nonprofit organizations to coordinate information and efforts.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Morgan Epstein (morgan@cfdrr.org or 434-793-0884) for more information.
