Investing in the people and causes closest to home.
When you support the Shelby Cooper Memorial Fund, you're investing directly in your community.
The Shelby Cooper Memorial Fund exists to honor Shelby's legacy by investing in the future of our community. From supporting the Blessings in a Backpack program at Lucas to supporting local organizations that serve families, children, and neighbors in need, we believe meaningful change begins close to home.
We believe that lasting impact doesn't always come from large organizations or distant causes; it starts with people investing in the communities they love.
Feeding students at Lucas Local Schools.
The Shelby Cooper Memorial Fund proudly supports the Blessings in a Backpack program at Lucas Local Schools, providing weekend food support to students and families facing food insecurity. Through this program, we help ensure local children have access to nutritious meals while reminding them that their community is behind them.
Providing projects for programs in your backyard.
