Lakefield Youth Unlimited (LYU) is celebrating 19 years of ministry on Oct. 27 with an online fundraiser.
They will be celebrating the day by sharing stories of hope among youth and families in the community. These stories will be shared through short videos to the LYU website and social media feeds.
Traditionally LYU hosts a fundraising dinner each October, but they have decided to cancel the event this year. Despite this, they are still fundraising online and have a goal to reach $15,000.
“Over the summer much of our energy went into a volunteer and partner appreciation night in June and the grand opening of The Barn, our new facility, in August. We decided to focus our volunteer’s time on helping us rebuild and reconnect with our local youth rather than on pulling off a fundraising event,” said Chris Jones, LYU satellite director.
