Why a Plainfield Legacy Fund?
People say that charity begins at home and Plainfield is home to a growing number of people in the past 30 years. Plainfield has grown from 5,000 residents to over 40,000 residents. With that growth comes additional needs – growing communities need more recreational opportunities; more services for seniors, families and youth; arts and cultural events.
Thus the Plainfield Legacy Fund was created to provide a place where we can pool our resources – both large and small – so that together we can accomplish more. The Fund will help generations of Plainfield residents and the community thrive. It will be an enduring symbol of our legacy.
