The Community Meals - Ongoing

Aunt Leah's works in partnership with 4 churches to provide opportunities for youth to participate in our Restaurant Training Program. The youth receive valuable pre-employment training and about 100 community members are served through each meal. We have been providing meals and training opportunities through
this program, and thanks to these partnerships since 1992.

Lonely Hearts Club Band Benefit Concert - Dec 8

Aunt Leah's 6th annual Lonely Hearts Club Band benefit concert was a roaring success! We raised almost $6,000 in ticket sales, over $4,000 on the auctions, nearly $700 on the 50-50 and over $1,500 in cash donations.

That's a total of $12,113.00 plus matching funds for a grand total of $24,226.00. After expenses, our profit for the night was $20,628.00 - all going to our Thresholds Program for moms and babies.

Thank You!

Aunt Leah's Kindness for Kids Initiative

Since we began the tradition of the Kindness for Kids Initiative, we have raised over $216,988.00 in pledges. The Kindness For Kids Initiative is a new way of looking at our financial planning for the future. By making pledges and monthly donations, you are contributing to a regular flow of funds which helps us in planning our programs for youth and families. This provides us with a source of undesignated funds which can be used where they are needed most and promotes long-term sustainability for the organization. Thank you for helping to ensure success for vulnerable youth and families into the future.
