The South Whitley Community Facilities Inc. was established in 1975 to build a medical clinic for four young doctors coming to the community. A massive, community wide fund drive was met with much community enthusiasm that raised over $50,000 in just four weeks. When the initial principal and interest were repaid, the community had over $70,000 to establish a lasting foundation to continue to promote the health and well being of South Whitley and Cleveland Township.
Over the last 35 years, the interest from the principle sum has awarded over $150,000 to various local projects that have included everything from radios for the EMS to summer art programs at Whitko High School.
