ADRIAN, Mich., Jun. 4, 2025
Thanks to the generosity of community members, corporate partners, and Lenawee Cares Pillars, Lenawee Cares raised $475,229 during the 2024–25 campaign, bringing the total invested in Lenawee County nonprofits to nearly $4 million since the program began in 2016.
Every dollar raised stays right here in Lenawee, supporting trusted local nonprofit organizations that are addressing urgent and ongoing basic needs, from food and shelter to adult literacy, childcare, family support, and domestic violence recovery. These funds help our neighbors in real time, offering vital care and hope when it’s needed most.
Lenawee Cares is a community-powered initiative of the Lenawee Community Foundation. Each year, individuals and companies pledge their support, and those dollars are invested in trusted local programs, helping Lenawee thrive. Contributions go directly to nonprofit programs and services in Lenawee County, making it one of the most efficient and impactful ways to give locally.
“At the Lenawee Community Foundation, we’re focused on improving the health, happiness, and hope of everyone who calls Lenawee home,” said Bronna Kahle, President & CEO of the Lenawee Community Foundation. “Lenawee Cares is one of the ways we make that happen. We thank every individual, family, business, and campaign partner who gave during this past year. When we come together, we care for our community.”
Lenawee Cares is a true team effort, powered by people who believe in building a stronger, healthier, more hopeful Lenawee. Whether through payroll giving, one-time gifts, or corporate support, each donor plays a vital role in making our community safer, more supported, and more connected.
