What a powerful night! 😍
Our annual “Love In Action” Banquet was overflowing with gratitude and emotion as we awarded nearly $15,000 to local non-profits and recognized amazing volunteers for their selfless service in our community! ❤️

Together, through heartfelt conversations about how to better serve “the least of these,” we raised significant funds through our silent auction donations and banquet sponsors, all while celebrating the incredible impact of our local organizations. 🥰

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, or served; your generosity is truly love in action. 🙌

If you were there, please share your favorite photos or moments and help us spread the word about the Republic Community Foundation and the difference being made right here at home. 💪

Interested in getting involved? We’d love to connect — just reach out! ❤️

We were able to giveaway almost 24K to our local non-profits and honor several volunteers this year through the Republic Community Foundation!❤️

ALTHOUGH we had a…
👉Cancelled annual “Love In Action” banquet due to the Republic Tigers going to State
👉Rained out awards ceremony following the annual Christmas parade

The RCF and our generous Philanthropic Society were still able to run to the fire and help fill the area needs greater than ever!🙏

With rain running down our faces (many others not pictured) we still handed out checks and announced non-profit volunteer awards. Congrats to not just the work of our non-profits, our board, or to the incredible work of individuals behind the scenes, but to Charlie and Linda Brown with Care to Learn who have won Volunteers of the Year!🥰🙌

Next year we will resume our annual banquet, avoid the rain, and enjoy each other’s company.🙏

For more information about our organization, how to get involved, or the Philanthropic society and simple ways to give back, shoot us a message and let’s go bigger meeting the local needs next year!🔥

ATTENTION!🚨
To the public, our non-profit leaders and grant recipients, and our volunteers who were to be awarded...
-
We are following the school's lead and canceling the annaul banquet this Friday, December 1st in order to allow everyone to support the Republic Tiger Football team as they play for the state championship that evening, Friday Night at 7pm.👌🏽
-
Thankfully, the opportunity opened up to still honor these organizations and these volunteers as we present the big checks at the Kiwanis stage immediately following the 3pm parade this Saturday, December 2nd!❤️
-
If you weren't already planning on doing so, please come out and enjoy the parade and the check presentation! Please spread the word to your volunteers and leaders, and bring a camera!📸
-
In 2024, we will plan to have a better than ever annual event (and hopefully avoid the football and fall sports calendar altogether)!🙌
-
Thank you so much for your understanding. GO TIGERS and we will see you Saturday immediately after the parade at the center stage.❤️
-
Thankful,
Your Republic Community Foundation Board

This is our most difficult board meeting for the Community Foundation. This year, more applications than ever from local non-profits were based around the basic human rights of food and clothing.
-
Looking through the received grant applications we aim to place funds where the biggest needs are in our community.👌
-
The hardest thing about this, is there isn’t always enough funds to treat the need. As an extremely active board, we have made changes but are hoping to make a larger impact in coming years!❤️
-
Our “Love in Action” Banquet where we award these grants and volunteer of the year for our community is Dec 1st this year.

Ticket sales start now! Come support!🔥
