Abingdon Ruritan Club supports The DeGood Foundation, which was founded in the summer of 2017 by current executive director Kyle DeGood. The mission of the foundation is to address issues with mental health and children’s literacy. The foundation supports Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a worldwide effort to ensure children from the cradle to age 5 are provided books each month to give them a strong basis for lifelong literacy. Club member Marsha Weatherwax is shown presenting a $500 check to DeGood. Weatherwax was one of the major pioneers in Gloucester on the Library Project.
