Strengthening Our Community...  

26 years ago the Stow Community Chest was established to raise money and address funding requests for health and social services and specific community programs within our town.  Since then the mission of the Stow Community Chest has continued to evolve to meet the needs of our community as it grows and changes.

The Community Chest annual campaign raises money to support the needs of our youngest to oldest residents.  Programs such as the Stow Bloodmobile,  the Stow Food Pantry and the Stow Friends of the Council on Aging all receive funding from the Stow Community Chest.

Why it is important

• There are people in Stow and the surrounding communities who need food, clothing, and assistance.

• There are many community needs that are not met through Town finances.

• The Community Chest funds private non-profits who are able to provide a maximum level of confidentiality for their clients.

• Many of these vital services would not be able to continue without funding from the Community Chest.
