LGE Foundation donates $303,317 to local nonprofits; surpasses $2 million giving milestone

On Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2022, the LGE Community Outreach Foundation presented $303,317 to local nonprofit organizations at LGE Community Credit Union’s annual Christmas breakfast, which was hosted at NorthStar Church in Kennesaw. With these donations, the LGE Foundation surpassed the $2 million overall giving milestone since its inception in 2009. The event recognized nonprofit organizations throughout metro Atlanta, and each organization was invited to speak and share donor impact stories with the credit union’s approximately 300 employees. Nonprofits that received donations from the LGE Foundation included CASA of Paulding County, McKenna Farms Therapy Services, Mostly Mutts, MUST Ministries, Next Step Ministries, SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, The Drake House, United Military Care, and Warehouse of Hope. Annually, the LGE Foundation leads a fundraising campaign with the goal of helping give back to the communities we serve. Proceeds raised from our events, as well as personal contributions given throughout the year, are matched up to an annual maximum by LGE Community Credit Union and donated to local nonprofit organizations, families, or individuals in need.
