Monroeville Foundation We unify the Monroeville area with events & projects that promote health, wellness, and harmony. The Food Pantries receive all produce.

The Monroeville Foundation is a catalyst for various community programs, projects and activities that will enhance the image of the Municipality of Monroeville. Our foremost considerations are consistent with lessening the burden of the local government when funding requests are brought to our attention. Upon establishing the type of community request appropriate for a charitable cause, and assuming the available funding, the Foundation has –

* Organized and secured naming rights for signage/markings to areas of the Monroeville Community Park West. These name recognitions range from placing signage on behalf of individuals or organizations on numerous park benches to amphitheater stage, playground, tennis court, basketball courts and park views.

* The Foundation donates on behalf of requesting groups through a donation request application. This allows friends and neighbors funding to beautify a neighborhood project.

* Community Food Pantry funding – The Foundation has donated to local food pantries as part of the yearly budget since inception. We depend on donations from the community to help sustain this goal.

* Food Pantry Volunteer Garden Project – Established in 2010 received the initial seed money to enable self-funding of a beautiful organic garden. Sustainable Monroeville, who meets at the library initiated the permaculture design. Lois Drumheller has continued managing the garden with its volunteers after tenure of serving municipal council. This has encouraged sustained funding encouraged by the Foundation. The Food Pantry Garden, which is located behind Monroeville’s Public Library, harvests 500 pounds of organic produce that have supplemented four (4) local food pantries for 4 years. The garden is tended through volunteerism. Continual recruitment of volunteers is crucial for it’s continued funding.

Community Day This weekend!!!

09/16/2026

On a mostly sunny Saturday, an estimated 3,000 spectators turned out with their lawn chairs and blankets for what might have been a jazz performance for the record books.

On Sept. 5, 103-year-old retired Judge Warren Watson took the stage at the Monroeville Jazz Festival with Court in Session, the ensemble that grew out of jam sessions he has hosted at his Hill District home. Festival organizers believe the performance made Watson the oldest performing jazz musician in the United States.

The nine members onstage ranged from 42 years old to Watson’s 103, though the majority of the musicians could easily be described as “mature.” Still, their pleasure was unmistakable as they riffed off each other and visibly enjoyed one another’s contributions.

Ninety-two-year-old tenor saxman Art Nance soloed with the verve and wit of a man a third of his age, to appreciative hoots of “Yeah, baby!”

Singer Gwen Davis, who was Watson’s secretary for 25 years, joined the band for renditions of “At Last” and “Summertime.”

They exchanged wide grins after Watson soloed on the latter tune.

“I loved him,” she told the audience. “Can’t too many people say that about their boss.”
