Our Mission
Lena's Foundation provides donations of essential, healthy food to survivors of domestic abuse, natural disasters, mental health crises, and other critical life-changing circumstances. Food is a foundation upon which community can connect and heal. By providing essential needs (food, water, love), we hope to expedite the recovery and growth of survivors.
Our Vision
To develop a community of support that lifts up those who find themselves in crisis situations, ultimately creating a society in which everyone has the resources and sustenance they need to create and live their best lives. The goal is to provide a safe place for the voice of survivors to take the spotlight, as well as resources for health, hope, and love.
