ROCHELLE — The Rochelle Area Community Foundation is excited to announce the creation of the Jacobs Family Fund, which is being spearheaded by local resident Cal Jacobs.
This new donor-advised fund will provide assets to assist in the acquisition of a permanent home for the Foundation in the future.
Originally from Powell Wyo., Jacobs came to Rochelle in 1995 as the president and general manager of Rochelle Foods, a subsidiary of Hormel.
During his tenure at Rochelle Foods, he became involved with the RACF as a vehicle to help support local organizations whose work includes hunger relief.
His efforts resulted in the creation of a permanent hunger relief fund of the foundation, which raises more than $10,000 each year for hunger relief in the region.
