In honor of Women’s History Month in March, we supported a charity that serves women in need from every community we’re in! All locations collected monetary donations for A Mother’s Hope and with your help we were able to raise $61,500 for their much-needed home repair project

A Mother’s Hope is a local organization that shelters pregnant women who are experiencing homelessness and provides life-changing opportunities for growth. Women’s and babies’ lives are forever changed by their experience at A Mother’s Hope. Because of your generosity, they are able to continue serving women in our community

In November we kicked off our 7th annual Be A Blessing fundraising campaign for the Associated Churches and the Landing, a wonderful organization providing services to children and teens in need right in our local community. 

With your generous donations, Lassus presented a $13,733 check to the organization on December 17th, along with enough treats to make boxes for almost 200 children. 

Lassus would like to thank all of our generous customers for their donations this holiday season!
