📣This Thursday, we will celebrate #Thanksgiving, the spirit of giving, and the incredible impact our community can have when we work together! 🌟💙 After CCF awarded a grant to the Chelsea Farmers Market, resident Brian Worley shared why this support makes a real difference for local families. "I am a Chelsea resident, and I hope you will continue to provide support to the Farmers Market. My family goes every week — our 3-year-old does the children's activity each and every Saturday, and we've made friends with a number of vendors and staff. It is part of our routine as a family. I am glad your grant supports this — it is important for our community, and we see real value in what the Farmers Market provides to us as a family. Please continue to support it!" -- Brian Worley Thank you to Brian and to everyone who helps make the Farmers Market a welcoming, thriving part of Chelsea. https://chelseafoundation.org/ #CCF #CFSEM #ChelseaCommunityfoundation @chelseacommunityfoundation #chelseafarmersmarket

🎉FIA - Grant Recipient Spotlight🌟 💚A message from Faith In Action - Chelsea/Dexter's Sarah Shugart 💚 "Right now, our focus is on helping those impacted by the pause in SNAP benefits. We’re so grateful for our generous community — your food and financial donations are making a difference for struggling families. 🙏 In response, we’ve created an Emergency Food Shelf and are partnering with the Chelsea Senior Center to launch a Pop-Up Pantry for seniors. 🛒 How You Can Help: ✔️ Non-food donations like laundry soap & cleaning products are especially needed. ✔️ Buy multiples of a few new items — this helps our volunteers stock shelves quickly. ✔️ FIA gets canned vegetables from Food Gatherers, so please consider other grocery staples. ✔️ For more donation information, visit FIA's website: https://faithinaction1.org/donate/ Your kindness continues to lift our community — thank you for showing up when it matters most!" 💙 #ChelseaCommunityFoundation #CCF #CFSEM #FaithInAction #FIA #GiveLocal #ChelseaMI @chelseacommunityfoundation @fia_chelseadexter

#FactFriday✨Defining the Legacy of Why CCF Was Formed💪 We are grateful to those who helped shape our history. 🎉The Chelsea Community Foundation began when three local leaders united with one goal — to bring extra value to the Chelsea community through generosity and collaboration. 🌿 What started as a grassroots effort soon grew into a trusted foundation supporting all things Chelsea. In 1995, CCF became an affiliate of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan — and this year, we’re proudly celebrating 30 years of partnership and community impact! 🎉https://chelseafoundation.org/about/history/ #ChelseaCommunityFoundation #CFSEM #CCF #FactFriday #AllThingsChelsea
