For 71 years, the Community Chest has dedicated itself to supporting organizations that lend a helping hand to residents in need. The 18 organizations that receive its grants serve the young, hungry, emotionally or physically ill, and the financially needy. It also allocates funds, through its Ilene Fleming Fund, to help in emergencies.
The Community Chest invites organizations to apply for 2016 grants. Decisions on grant requests are based on services provided and how many Leonians are served.
The event starts at 7 p.m. with the presentations beginning at 7:30 p.m. All are invited. There will be refreshments.
