We had such a great time at the Tempe Care Fair this past weekend! 🎉

It was incredible to see so many organizations come together in one place, all working toward the same goal—supporting our community. We loved connecting with local nonprofits and being part of such a meaningful event.

Grateful to be surrounded by so many people doing good 💚

We are so proud to announce that LSE received a $10,000 Backing Small Businesses Grant presented by , in partnership with Street America. We are honored to be among the 400 recipients of this incredible program!

For us, this grant will help us prepare for the official launch of our Experiences Department, expanding opportunities for corporations and community partners to come together and create meaningful volunteer impact. We plan to use this funding to build out the tools, materials, and infrastructure needed to host impactful kit-building experiences that support individuals and families transitioning into stable housing.

We are getting ready for even more community impact — stay tuned!
