The Legacy Fund is named in honor of the Food Center founder, Gemma E. Moran. 

Through her work at United Way as the region’s first Labor Liaison, Gemma saw families in our community struggling to put food on their tables. Her determination to help, along with the support of Labor and United Way, led to the formation of our Food Center 35 years ago. 

Your contribution to this Fund will help ensure Gemma's legacy continues by collectively creating sustainable support for the ongoing operation of the Food Center program.
