Giving

Dedicated philanthropists Bill and Carol Metzger work tirelessly for causes they care about - volunteering, raising funds, taking on leadership roles and providing charitable gifts. The Metzger’s, who moved from Williamsport to Lewisburg more than 40 years ago, have strong roots in both communities. Their dual commitment has given them a wider perspective on philanthropy. They have contributed - through gifts and volunteer work - to many local organizations such as the Slifer House, Albright Health Care and Evangelical Community Hospital in Union County and to Williamsport Cancer Care and the Community Arts Center. But their experiences in business and as volunteers have led them to think regionally.

Mr. Metzger is a member of the Union County Regional Advisory Board as well as member of the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania Board of Directors. When Mr. and Mrs. Metzger choose how to direct grants from their William J. and Carol A. Metzger Endowment Fund they consider how their grant will affect the region as well as their local communities. “We are proud of our commitment to philanthropy,” says Mr. Metzger. “It is very rewarding to share our success with others.”
