The Letaw Family Foundation
The Letaw Family Foundation was founded in 2006 by longtime Maryland residents, Joyce and Harry Letaw. Life experiences growing up in the Great Depression, serving in the military, traveling the world, and raising eight children taught them not only the hardships of poverty and inequality, but also the way an individual and community can thrive with the right resources and support. It was with that potential in mind that they began seeking out opportunities to give back, ultimately creating the Letaw Family Foundation as a vehicle through which to make an impact.
