How We Help

Every mile of the journey, together

When illness strikes close to home, your neighbors are here. Here's where your support goes.

Medical Crisis Relief

"Financial relief to local families navigating medical crises."

Help with the bills, travel, and everyday costs that pile up when someone we love is facing a serious illness or injury.

Research & Awareness

Causes close to home, like breast cancer and MS research.

Our fundraisers support the research and awareness efforts that matter to our neighbors, like our Hakuna Ma Tatas events for the fight against breast cancer.

Area Charities

"Local causes that strengthen our community."

Supporting the organizations and projects that make our hometowns stronger, like Ronald McDonald House in Marshfield.

Why We Exist

The roads we build together lead us home.

Country Roads Community Foundation exists to bring neighbors together in support of one another. We believe no one should travel a difficult road alone. Through fundraising and community partnership, we provide financial relief to local families and individuals navigating medical crises and life's unexpected hardships, while also investing in local causes that strengthen our community.

Our Story

How it all began

Every journey starts somewhere. Country Roads Community Foundation grew out of a simple belief shared by neighbors, volunteers, and friends: no one should travel a difficult road alone.

Today we bring our community together to support local families facing serious illness and medical crises, and to invest in research and area charities that make our hometowns stronger. More of our story is coming soon.
