Westfield Foundation Donates to the “We Love Local” Fund
Submitted by Ingrid Mckinley
The Westfield Foundation recently donated $30,000 to the “We Love Local” fund which is dedicated to helping independently owned local businesses in Westfield, NJ. The Westfield Foundation matched $30,000 in donations received in March. The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on small businesses in Westfield, surrounding communities, the state, and nation. At this writing the fund has raised over $225,000.
If you would like to contribute to the fund and help small businesses in Westfield, please go to: westfieldunitedfund.org and click on the Donate Now to We Love Local button.
For 45 years, the Westfield Foundation has provided funding support in the areas of the arts, health, aging, historic preservation, social services and civic projects. In addition to supporting capital projects of established social service agencies in the community, the Westfield Foundation has also been an important resource of ‘seed money’ for smaller organizations and emerging needs.
