Greater Greenfield poised for continued impact

Since the devastating EF-4 tornado struck Adair County May 21, 2024, local disaster response organizers were fortunate to be able to turn to the Greater Greenfield Community Foundation (GGCF) as disaster relief donations poured into our community. GGCF also rose to the challenge and was, and continues to be, instrumental in the recovery process.

Greater Greenfield Community Foundation provides update on its impact

The Greater Greenfield Community Foundation (GGCF) was created in 1985 to accept and administer gifts and bequests for the benefit of the communities in Adair County. Though we have supported many efforts in our nearly 40 years of operation, our biggest project by far is the disaster resulting from the May 21, 2024, tornado.
