Give Today
A one-time gift makes an immediate difference.
Your donation supports vital programs including Food Share, youth development, family support, and health access. Every dollar stays local, serving the Lopez community.
Community Care Begins with You!
Together we’re building a community where everyone has what they need to thrive. Every day, children discover a love of reading and learning, teens develop strong leadership skills and learn from tribal elders, families receive support during difficult times, older adults maintain their independence, and neighbors know they have somewhere to turn. Using high-quality, best practice innovative programs, we are there with consistent, ongoing, continued supports. We’re also supporting the development of diverse leaders whose voices and ideas are shaping our programs and creating a more equitable future.
None of this happens by accident.
It happens because our community chooses to invest in one another.
Together, we’re building a Lopez where everyone has what they need to thrive, today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

$241,815 for our 2026 fundraising goal
Our 2026 Goal
To sustain and strengthen the programs our community depends on, LIFRC must raise $525,171 in charitable support this year.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve already raised $283,356.
Still needed in 2026: $241,815
As state and federal funding becomes increasingly uncertain, LIFRC is also preparing for an anticipated $250,000 funding shortfall in 2027, in addition to our annual fundraising needs.
That means the support we receive today isn’t simply funding today’s services—it’s helping ensure that children continue learning, families continue receiving support, and our most vulnerable neighbors continue finding the care they need next year and beyond.
Your gift helps provide stability during uncertain times.
Help us keep these essential programs thriving—for 2026 and beyond.
