Building our community.
Our foundation provides support for educational programs and teachers in Dent County Missouri and private, special needs education for children on the autism spectrum in the greater Springfield, Missouri region.
The R-80 Construction Trades Program and EnCompass Academy are just two of the initiatives we are funding, and both are growing and getting stronger each year.
Flemings on 4th Foundation Store
Fleming Variety, our foundation store, was purchased in 2018 from the Benowitz family, who had the store, located at 114 W. Fourth street, for more than 100 years. All proceeds from purchases, community events and projects will directly benefit teachers and educational initiatives in Dent County, MO.
