Community Service Fund of Evangelical Reformed Church

Founded by the Church for benevolence.

Anne Bittinger was dedicated to both the Frederick community and her church. She was a women’s counselor, a children’s art therapist at Frederick Memorial Hospital and an avid supporter of Beyond Shelter Frederick, formerly the Religious Coalition for Emergency Human Needs, and Way Station, Inc. Ms. Bittinger died tragically in a 1993 accident. Given her commitment to her church, Ms. Bittinger had named the Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ as a beneficiary in her will. At her untimely death, the proceeds were added to The Community Service Fund of Evangelical Reformed Church. This fund, held by the Community Foundation, was founded by the Church for local benevolence.

The fund was established by Susan Compofelice in honor and memory of her husband, Joe, whose dedication to hard work, learning new skills, and mentoring others is just a few of things that will be remembered about him. Joe began learning to paint homes at the age of 12 and went on to acquire multiple building skills on the job. After serving in the Navy, his government career began at the Department of Energy. His broad knowledge, his ongoing quest for perfection, and his motivation to continually learn new skills enabled him to advance to the position of Project Manager at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
