The celebrated Punkin’ Chunkin’ originated with a group of native Sussex Countians to recognize and demonstrate mechanical ingenuity at a large-scale outdoor event.

Enjoying the outdoors was something event participants and attendees shared. In that spirit the original founders have dedicated this fund to support specific projects to permanently preserve and enable public use of open space.

The Rally for Our First Responders Fund supports critical needs within the Lewes Fire Department and Lewes Fire Department EMS. Through community donations, the fund helps provide essential equipment, training, and resources that strengthen emergency response and ensure the safety and well-being of the Lewes community. It’s a way for residents, businesses, and supporters to give back to the first responders who show up for us every day.

NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS

Southern Delaware may be a growing and changing landscape, but one quality that remains a constant among our community is the willingness of neighbors to help neighbors. Whether an accident, illness, fire or other unexpected catastrophe has caused a setback, our community rises to the challenge time and time again.

The Cape Community Fund has been created to help manage and expedite such donations, while affording a tax deduction to generous supporters.

Please consider making an annual donation to build funds to assist our friends and neighbors during the challenging times that always lie ahead for those in need.
