Foundation Friday

Yellow Springs Community Foundation                 December 16, 2022

Food insecurity is again increasing in Yellow Springs and Miami Township.


Please consider supporting those challenged with putting food on their table by giving to the Food Insecurity Fund.

Funds go to coupons for Tom's Market directly to those in need and to nonprofits that support food relief, and ultimately to the individuals' and families' tables.
