Real safety isn't just built on the front lines. It's built by the quiet network of local organizations, trained volunteers, and generous neighbors working behind the scenes every single day.

That's the heart of what Executive Director Laura Michalski shares in her latest message to our community. This National Safety Month, she reflects on how CFSLC's role isn't to be the loudest voice in the room -- it's to be the connective tissue that holds the network together.

One example close to home: the new Veterans and First Responders Memorial Fund. CFSLC is proud to serve as the central donation hub for the final phase of this landmark campaign, helping our community cross the finish line on a permanent tribute to our local heroes.

School's out — but for some kids in South Lake County, that means the meals stop too.

During the school year, thousands of local children rely on free and reduced-price lunches. Summer changes that equation. The nonprofits supported by the CFSLC Basic Needs Fund help fill that gap, making sure kids aren't going hungry while they're out of the classroom.

If you know a family that needs summer meal resources, Lake County has programs available — or reach out to your local nonprofit partners.

☀️ What an exciting first day for swimming with the SAVE (Summer Activities & Vocational Enrichment) Program!

Today, our children started their lessons to learn Water Safety at the National Training Center through South Lake Aquatics. This valuable experience is teaching them important life-saving skills while building confidence and having fun in the water!

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the South Lake Community Foundation for blessing our children with a grant that made their participation possible. Your investment is helping to create safer, stronger, and more confident young people in our community.

A special thank you also goes to the Livewell Foundation for their continual support of Anointed Community Services International and the many programs that impact the lives of children and families throughout South Lake County.

And just look at those amazing SAVE shirts! These shirts were beautifully created by our very own Tiffany Compton using a Cricut machine generously donated by Walmart. What a wonderful example of community partners coming together to make a difference!

Today is a reminder that when organizations, businesses, foundations, and dedicated individuals work together, incredible things happen for our children.

Thank you to everyone who helps make opportunities like this possible. We are excited for a summer filled with learning, growth, life skills, vocational enrichment, and unforgettable memories!
