We are alway thankful to have the opportunity to give back to the community. Also don’t forget to support Cindy’s nonprofit Common Threads Closet also located in Barberton
Some of the most important work in a community is the work that helps people through the moments when they need support most. 💜
We are grateful to Lakefront Excavating and Russ & Deb Shreiner for choosing to support Basic Needs as Strategic Impact Sponsors of Barberton Community Foundation’s 2026 Annual Dinner.
Basic Needs is a significant part of the Foundation’s work in Barberton. In our second competitive grant cycle of 2026 alone, the Foundation awarded $123,000 to 10 organizations helping Barberton residents facing food insecurity, behavioral health needs, violence, housing instability, serious illness, and other challenges that can disrupt school, work, and family life.
Those grants support everything from meals and food distributions to mental health care, victim advocacy, housing assistance, transportation, and support for families navigating serious illness.
That is the kind of community impact Lakefront Excavating and Russ & Deb Shreiner are choosing to stand behind. Their sponsorship recognizes that helping families build stability strengthens all of Barberton.
Strategic Impact Sponsorships are still available for $1,000 and may be designated to Early Learning, Career Pathways & Workforce Development, Downtown Revitalization, Basic Needs, or Scholarships.
Each sponsorship includes two Annual Dinner tickets, access to the VIP Reception, and recognition connected to the area of impact you choose.
Thank you, Lakefront Excavating and Russ & Deb Shreiner, for believing in Barberton and supporting the work that helps our community stay strong. 💜
