HERMISTON â New grants will be available to support children in the Hermiston area after the creation of the Wilcox Family Endowment Fund.
The endowment is a partnership between the Greater Hermiston Community Foundation and Alan and John Wilcox of the Wilcox Furniture family business. The Wilcoxes have donated an initial gift of $100,000 to start the fund.
According to a news release, grants made from the endowment each year will support children s education, care and health in the greater Hermiston area. We believe that all of us have an opportunity to give back by helping our neighbors and community in whatever way we can, John Wilcox said in a statement.
