History
The Fall Creek Area Foundation was established on May 16, 1990, to provide a mechanism for people of goodwill, interested in the Fall Creek Area, to make donations for the improvement of quality of life within the area for present and future generations. The Lions club provided the startup funding of this foundation as another way to support Fall Creek and its vision of tomorrow.
