💖 From a Single Act of Kindness to a Powerful Movement
🤝 Learn how this local non-profit is changing lives through community engagement and fundraising
Have you ever felt the urge to make a real difference in our community? The Lending Hand Foundation, a Colorado Springs non-profit, turns that urge into action. Born from a desire to support Sarah's Home, a local organization helping teenage survivors of sex trafficking, the Foundation has raised over $100,000 through their annual galas and community events.
Founded by Rich and Tammy Dillman, The Lending Hand Foundation officially became a 501(c)(3) organization in April 2023. Driven by the belief that community engagement fosters lasting change, they're committed to amplifying the voices of those who can't advocate for themselves.
Their philosophy is simple yet powerful: Awareness, Community, Change. They strive to raise awareness for those in need, build a supportive community, and create meaningful change through fundraising for local charities. The Lending Hand Foundation isn't just raising money; they're raising hope. Learn more about their mission and how you can get involved at TheLendingHandFoundation.org.
✨A Night of Glamour for a Great Cause!💖
Attend the Dressed to Impress Black Tie Benefit on May 23rd, 6-8pm! Enjoy an elegant evening while supporting The Lending Hand Foundation's mission to help local charities. Your presence will make a real difference in the lives of those in need for Jackie’s War and Lending Hand. Get your tickets today!
