Lives of Service Lead to a Forever Gift

Image title If you visit Charles City and ask someone about Dean and Marcie Andrews, chances are they’ll have a story or are friends, and they’ll definitely know the couple who have spent over 40 years working to make the community a better place. The Andrews family decided setting up a permanent endowment fund was the right way for them to say thank you to their community. It is a decision the entire family is excited to be actively involved in, especially making grants that benefit their home. Read more about their story.
