#500forGood
Since #500forGood began in 2018, we have been asking our members to answer one simple question.
If you had $500 to benefit your community, how would you spend it?
For seven years, we have partnered with our members to help fund your passion projects across the district. Together, we’ve donated school supplies, planted trees, thanked first responders and improved downtowns.
