Roanoke Valley Gives is an initiative of the Foundation for Roanoke Valley.  The goal is to raise funding for participating Roanoke Valley nonprofits in a 24 hour period while bringing attention to the work and worth of each participating organization.  All donations to the participating organizations are tax-deductible. LCM is a proud participant in this effort.   In 2017 this event raised nearly $43,000 to help LCM serve our neighbors.
