Whether he is donating time at the local food bank or raising funds for a grant program, Ray and WCF Insurance are among the first to lend a helping hand and say, ‘What can I do to help?’ This is at the heart of Ray’s very nature, recognized by everyone who knows him, and I would be one of the first to say our community owes him a debt of gratitude. We are delighted to be able to recognize him as a ‘Giant in our City.’”
