Schindler Assistance Fund (Community West Foundation)

Fact (page-stated): 'Separately from our quarterly grants, Community West Foundation supports families by offering community meals, food pantries, clothing and more. The Schindler Assistance Fund, named in honor of Senior Grantmaker Peter Schindler for his 27 years of dedicated service to the Foundation, is designed to benefit these "hidden helpers" in our community.'
