Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors presented a York Children’s Foundation grant in the amount of $1000 to The Matthew Reardon Center for Autism.  

Fox & Weeks has now awarded more than $20,000 in York Children’s Foundation grants since 2012. Each time a family purchases a casket at Fox & Weeks, a portion of the cost is donated to the York Children’s Foundation in the name of the deceased and the accumulated funds are distributed quarterly through an application process to area non-profits benefitting children and children’s causes.  

The Matthew Reardon Center for Autism is dedicated to the care and education of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Through free advocacy services, the advanced academy, and community outreach the Matthew Reardon Center provides support that enhance the quality of life for children on the autism spectrum and their families.

The York Children’s Foundation is affiliated with the Mathews International Corporation casket division and has delivered millions of dollars in grants throughout the country since its introduction in the early 1990s, and Fox & Weeks is the only funeral home in the area actively participating in the York Children’s Foundation program. The purpose of the York Children’s Foundation is to support non-profit organizations dedicated to children, and any organization in the Coastal Empire with the primary purpose of providing for children’s needs is eligible to apply for a York Children’s Foundation grant.

To qualify for a York Children’s Foundation grant through Fox & Weeks, an application must be submitted and an organization’s activities must be primarily directed towards the welfare and benefit of children.
