In our small community, 228 people volunteered with LEAF for 5294 hours last year. Co-powered by nearly 300 donors and partners, our teams delivered so much good for the Greater Lyons area in 2024. In fact, we directly served 900 local people with LEAF’s five human services and behavioral health programs. And we serve many of these folks many times, through our Food Pantry, Meals on Wheels, or Mental Wellness & Addiction Recovery services.
