News - Chaney Foundation Awards $5,000 To the United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore
The Chaney Foundation granted $5,000 to the United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore during a check presentation in Cambridge last month by Chaney Board Director William Childs and C&D Sales Representative Nicole Carrion. The Foundation grant will support the United Way’s Annual Community Campaign.
“The United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore demonstrates every day its commitment to the communities here, especially during tough economic times, mirroring the goals and values of the Chaney Foundation,” said Childs.
“This generous grant from the Chaney Foundation will help our local United Way to improve the lives of more than 100,000 of the less fortunate in our community every year,” said Gage Thomas, United Way board president. The United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore has supported its neighbors in need in Dorchester, Worcester, Somerset and Wicomico Counties for the last 65 years. By funding nonprofit agencies and organizations in the region, the United Way is a critical link to programs that focus on helping children and the aging population, and provide emergency and crisis assistance and services for families in need.
Founded in 1987, the Chaney Foundation is committed to serve the needs and provide a better quality of life for all the citizens where Chaney Enterprises and its associated companies do business. The Foundation focuses its giving to charitable organizations for the purpose of improving health, education, environment and the welfare of citizens and their children. Ten percent of Chaney Enterprises’ overall net profit is transferred to the Chaney Foundation to support its mission.
