Philanthropy and volunteerism are the main tenets of LCMA's efforts to build a healthier community.
Over the years, tens of thousands of dollars have been donated to local health and human service community organizations. Generous grants have supported organizations like Friendship Home, St. Monica’s, Voices of Hope, CASA, Clinic with a Heart, Milkworks, American Heart Association, Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, Bright Lights, Willie's Underwear Project, and White Cane Foundation. Additionally, LCMA has been a major contributor to LCMS Medical Referral Services since its inception to help increase access to medical care.
Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach has been an ongoing project since the fall of 2001. We provide both financial and volunteer hours for this invaluable resource to relieve hunger for those in need in Lancaster County.
Charitable and educational funding is made through the LCMS Foundation, a 501(c)(3), the philanthropic arm of LCMA.
The Triple Crown Benefit
LCMA's Signature Annual Fundraiser
In 2025, LCMA celebrated hope and healing at its first annual Triple Crown Benefit—a Kentucky Derby Party to raise critical funds for a healthier community. HopeSpoke was the inaugural event's beneficiary, supporting their efforts to provide comprehensive behavioral and mental health services to children and families.
The event took place at The Academy at Wilderness Ridge on Saturday, May 3, 2025.
Tickets included a welcome mint julep cocktail, two drink tickets, hors d’oeuvres, live race coverage, silent auction, photo opportunities, and more!
