The Wenger Foundation
The Wenger Foundation Inc. strives to support religious, educational, and community services programs through corporate contributions from Wengers of Myerstown, as well as, individual contributions and fund solicitations for special events.
The Wenger Foundation, Inc. was founded in January 1996 as a private, non-profit organization. The premier event of the Foundation is the annual Praise Dinner, which was first held as a memorial dinner for Carl and Margaret’s granddaughter, Renee Ann Layser. The community responded so well that the event was re-branded as the Praise Dinner and has continued through the years. There are currently four different ministries benefiting from the event: COBYS Family Services, Friendship Community, Evangelical Seminary, and On Fire Youth Ministry. This event has generated gifts totaling over $2 million for these and other ministries.
Today our mission is to transform our community by funding faith-based and family-centric programs that change lives. If you would like to learn more about the foundation or partner with us, check out the foundation website for more details. Thank you to all who have helped make the Wenger Foundation a success.
