On Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024, the LGE Community Outreach Foundation presented $402,517.20 to local nonprofit organizations at LGE Community Credit Union’s annual celebration breakfast. 

The event recognized nonprofit organizations throughout metro Atlanta and northwest Georgia and each organization was invited to speak and share donor impact stories with the credit union’s approximately 340 employees. Nonprofits that received donations from the LGE Foundation included Calvary Children’s Home, CASA of Paulding County, The Drake House, McKenna Farms Therapy Services, MUST Ministries, Next Step Ministries, SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, Sexual Assault Center of Northwest Georgia, United Military Care, and Warehouse of Hope.

In addition to the nonprofits recognized at the celebration breakfast, each LGE branch location selected a nonprofit organization in its community to receive a $1,000 donation as part of the LGE Foundation’s Season of Giving campaign. 

Annually, the LGE Foundation leads a fundraising campaign with the goal of helping give back to the communities LGE serves. Proceeds raised from 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.
