ADRIAN — Lenawee Cares, a project of the Lenawee Community Foundation, raised $475,229 during the 2024-25 campaign, the foundation announced recently.

This year’s fundraising means Lenawee Cares has directed a total of nearly $4 million to local nonprofits since the program began in 2016.

The funds raised through the campaign go directly to local organizations that address needs from food and shelter to adult literacy, childcare, family support, and domestic violence recovery. 

The Lenawee Cares campaign raises money through workplace payroll giving, one-time gifts, and corporate support. Donors can designate their gifts to specific organizations.

“At the Lenawee Community Foundation, we’re focused on improving the health, happiness, and hope of everyone who calls Lenawee home,” Bronna Kahle, LCF president & CEO, said in a news release. “Lenawee Cares is one of the ways we make that happen. We thank every individual, family, business, and campaign partner who gave during this past year. When we come together, we care for our community.”
