The Wexford Charitable Foundation has reached a million-dollar milestone, but the huge fund had modest beginnings.
Wexford resident Jim Hicks, who established the foundation in 2012, was inspired to create the foundation after he volunteered with the American Red Cross in Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. “That experience taught me that anyone can make an impact when it comes to helping people in need. As a consequence, I realized that Wexford could make an impact by supporting local charities that are helping those in need every day,” he said.
