* The LCAA is a 501(c)(3) tax deductible, charitable organization supported by contributions from generous private donors.
* the Board of Directors consists of clergy and members of the community. They review the anonymous disbursements, work to raise awareness of the critical needs of our neighbors and solicit the financial contributions necessary to support the grants.
