Southold Benefactor Honored for His Dedication to the Community

On December 16, local business owner Charles Reichert (IGA Southold and IGA Greenport) was honored with a Proclamation recognizing his generosity, dedication to the community, and lasting legacy of service. The Proclamation was presented by Southold Supervisor Albert Krupski, Jr.

Mr. Reichert’s philanthropic contributions have enriched the lives of Southold residents and strengthened the institutions that serve our community.

Southold Historical Museum extends its warmest congratulations.

We are thankful for the many programs and initiatives the Charles and Helen Reichert Foundation, IGA Southold, and IGA Greenport have supported over the years including our annual Pickleball Tournament and the beloved Candlelight Tour & Tree Lighting, among others.

Pictured is the Reichert Family Barn at the Maple Lane Campus during the Candlelight Tour, dedicated to the Reicherts.

This season invites reflection on generosity and the lasting impact it can have close to home. A year-end gift helps ensure that local history, shared experiences, and meaningful educational opportunities continue to thrive for people of all ages.

Your support—at any level—strengthens our programs and events and helps preserve the places that carry our stories forward. As a private nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of individuals who recognize the enduring value of investing in our community while planning their seasonal giving.
