Peter Schindler and Linda Spencer of Community West Foundation were welcomed by Publisher Frank Bird as this year’s Best of the West Presenting Sponsor.

Community West Foundation was presenting sponsor for Best of the West – a celebration of Cleveland’s leading west side businesses, restaurants and shops, last week at LaCentre in Westlake.

West Shore live well magazine readers packed out the venue as they voted for their favorite places to eat, shop and have fun throughout the west side. This was the magazine’s 7th annual Best of the West celebration. Finalists from more than 60 categories were there with booths, samples and demonstrations for guests to enjoy. Best of the West proves once again that there is More on the Shore! Winners to be published in next month’s live well magazine.

You Can Make a Difference in Your Community!

You probably have a favorite charity, community cause or program that serves the West Side Community. A Community West Foundation Donor-Advised Fund will enable you to support that favorite charity in a special way! You can make a difference in your community!

“True charity is love in action,” says David Dombrowiak, President & CEO Community West Foundation. “It is an act of faith that every donor who gives to a cause has a shining wish for their gift – a wish to put food on shelves at local pantries, a wish to provide basic medical care to local clinics, a wish to heat the homes of seniors during winter months, a wish for those suffering with addiction and mental health issues to receive the treatment and support they need.
