Dear Friends,
The Community Foundation of South Lake County (CFSLC) celebrated a record-breaking year of giving nearly $1.6 Million into the community from the endowment and our generous donors. We came together yesterday at the Donor Appreciation Breakfast to celebrate all that we were able to accomplish TOGETHER! Over 120 of our donors, non-profit organizations, dignitaries and guests attended. The Keynote Speaker for the event was Dave Krepcho, President & CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Orlando.
Along with celebrating the record-breaking year of giving, the 2021-2022 grants were awarded to the following organizations:
- LovExtension $5,000
- Early Learning Coalition of Lake County $19,172
- Family Matters of Central Florida $20,000
- Building Blocks Ministries $25,000
- Lake Community Action Agency $25,000
- Florida’s Vision Quest $25,000
Continuing the celebration, awards were given in the following categories:
- South Lake Outstanding Volunteer of the Year - Otis Taylor from Give a Day Foundation
- South Lake Outstanding Nonprofit of the Year - Find, Feed & Restore
- South Lake Outstanding Donor of the Year - Love Thy Neighbor Fund (a fund held at the CFSLC)
So many exciting things are still ahead of us as we near the end of this eventful year. We've been celebrating how much impact we've been able to make in the community through giving, hosting educational opportunities for our area non-profits and kicking off a new Community Partnership Program, building new relationships and more!
We can't thank you all enough for your continued support of the community at-large!
Sincerely,
