Lady of Peace Community Foundation believes that we all have an inherent responsibility to make a meaningful difference in our community. With a variety of active projects and a large volunteer staff, we harness our skills and resources to achieve our goals successfully.
Since our founding in 2017, we have been humbled to witness how our activities have benefitted our communities and beyond..

It is so easy to fall into a pattern of apathy as we go through our lives. Our organization was born out of a commitment to stop passing over the real issues of society, and deal with them head-on. We have set out to aid those who need it most. Lady of Peace Community Foundation is here to help, and we believe that change is possible when we put our hearts and minds into it.
