The Guilford Community Fund exists to assist the Guilford community by providing a single entity through which donors can make contributions to support those non-profit organizations best qualified to serve Guilford residents in need. Last year we were pleased to have raised over $135,000.

Thank You To Our Donors

Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Supporters, As we enter the closing months of 2024, I reflect on how fortunate we are to be part of such a close-knit community. As a 6th generation family member and owner of Bishop’s Orchards, I’ve had the privilege of watching our town come together through both prosperous and challenging times. It is this sense of unity and shared responsibility that makes Guilford such a special place. This year, our community has faced a variety of hurdles, from ongoing economic uncertainty to the rising cost of living that has affected many of our families. Local businesses like ours continue to navigate these realities while striving to provide for both our customers and employees. Yet, through these challenges, one thing remains clear: Guilford’s strength comes from the care and commitment we show one another. This is why I am writing to you today. The Guilford Community Fund has long been a pillar of support, providing critical resources to those who need it most. Whether it’s funding for youth programs, assistance for our seniors, or ensuring that local services can continue to support families in need, the Guilford Community Fund makes a difference in the lives of countless individuals. At Bishop’s Orchards, we’ve seen firsthand how community involvement can change lives. This year, we ask for your continued support to help our neighbors thrive. Your generous donation to the Guilford Community Fund, no matter the size, will have a profound impact on the well-being of our town. Your gift represents more than just financial support. It is a testament to the values of compassion, connection, and shared responsibility that define our town. Together, we can ensure that Guilford remains a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and where neighbors can continue to lend a helping hand. Please consider making a donation to the Guilford Community Fund this year. Whether you contribute online or send a check, know that your generosity directly supports the people and programs that sustain our community. On behalf of myself, the GCF Board, and the organizations we aid, I thank you for your continued support of this incredible town we are proud to call home.

With heartfelt thanks,

Sarah Bishop DellaVentura
