Spotlight Fund - The Cody Family


Our involvement with the Community Foundation began when we asked for their assistance with the Ruth Jackson Cody (our sister-in-law) trust to provide school children with warm coats and shoes during cold winters.

Our own Cody Family Fund continues that tradition and gives us and our sons a means of helping our neighbors, thus returning some of the good this community has given us.
