Ed Mosher is used to staying on track. Retired after 43 years as a locomotive engineer with the Erie Railroad, Mosher recently followed his personal track when he established a donor-advised fund with Greater Pike Community Foundation.

“I was looking for a way to give back to the community,” the 88-year-old Milford Landing resident said. “I’ve always had the desire to help others who need help.”

Mosher, who has a personal connection with cancer in his family, plans to direct funds to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital as well as other cancer support organizations. An animal lover, he also plans to assist animal shelters and local food pantries.

“Greater Pike is helping me to direct my contributions to causes that are important to me and that can use the help,” he said, adding that he is happy to be able to “give back anything to the community for whatever needs they have for whatever reason.”
