A Big Thank You to Crane Charitable Funds

Bounty & Soul is thrilled to share some wonderful news: Crane Charitable Funds has awarded our organization a generous $3,400 donation in support of our mission to provide equitable access to nutritious food, education, and community connection across Western North Carolina.

This gift came to us in a special way, through the nomination of Anthony Ramsey, an employee at Crane Resistoflex in Marion, NC. Anthony took the time to put Bounty & Soul forward for support, and Crane Charitable Funds answered that call with this incredible contribution. We’re so grateful that a neighbor right here in Western North Carolina saw the work we do in his community and chose to help amplify it.

In their letter to us, Susan L. Shreve, Director of Crane Charitable Funds, shared that “philanthropy is a core part of Crane Company’s culture and reflects its long-standing commitment to making a positive difference in the communities where we do business.” That kind of corporate generosity, powered by employees who care enough to nominate the causes closest to their hearts, is exactly the kind of partnership that helps organizations like ours keep showing up for our neighbors.

This gift will go straight to work, helping fund our no-cost produce markets, nutrition and cooking education, and partnerships with local farms that keep healthy food accessible across our region. With need continuing to grow in Western North Carolina this year, support like this makes a real, immediate difference.

To Anthony Ramsey and everyone at Crane Resistoflex in Marion, and to Susan Shreve and the team at Crane Charitable Funds: thank you. Your generosity reflects exactly the kind of community and collaboration that Bounty & Soul was built on. Because of partners like you, we can continue our work of connecting, sharing, and building a community where everyone has the right and opportunity to eat well, be nourished, and thrive.

We’re proud to count Crane Charitable Funds among our growing family of supporters, and we look forward to the impact we’ll continue to make together.
