  1. $1.3 million spent. MARSHALL FOUNDATION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (MFCH) IS A CATALYST FOR THE WELL-BEING OF OUR AREA RESIDENTS. IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, THIS VISION WAS BROUGHT TO REALITY THROUGH THE FUNDING OF PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT PEOPLE IMPACTED BY CANCER AND OTHER HEALTH ISSUES BY PROVIDING NO-COST TRANSPORTATION, LODGING, AND OTHER CRITICAL SERVICES. PHILANTHROPIC FUNDING WAS SECURED AND ALLOCATED TO CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY'S MOST VULNERABLE WHO ARE FACING LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS, SUBSTANCE USE, HOMELESSNESS, AND OTHER ISSUES THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACT THEIR HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THROUGH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM COMMUNITY DONORS, MFCH WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ESSENTIAL FUNDING TO ENHANCE MARSHALL MEDICAL CENTER'S NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAMS AND TO PROVIDE GRANT FUNDING TO AREA NONPROFITS THAT ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS.
