CONROE - Woodforest Charitable Foundation recently presented a $2,500 donation to the Conroe Family YMCA.

In 2007, the Conroe Family YMCA, Willis Independent School District and the City of Willis’ Community Development Corporation entered into a partnership arrangement to enhance after-school programming by providing positive, fun, creative, community beneficial activities in a safe, caring environment.

This project is to provide programs suitable to junior high aged youth. The aspects and service of the programs include after school supervision by YMCA staff, nutritious snacks, homework time and tutorial assistance, recreational activities and group games, and mentoring programs. Financial support by the community is essential for the ongoing success of the Willis Teen Program.

The Woodforest Charitable Foundation was created by Woodforest National Bank in 2005 as a direct result of its desire to support and invest in the communities in which it serves.  The Foundation is creating a legacy of commitment to those in need, enriching lives and communities through dedicated leadership and faithful administration by providing funding to qualifying 501(c)(3) charities.  For additional information regarding The Woodforest Charitable Foundation, call (832) 375-CARE (2273) or visit the foundation’s website at www.woodforestcharitablefoundation.org.
