Lynwood Gives 2026: Supporting Students and Schools!

‍

We're excited to announce our 7th annual Lynwood Gives campaign, running October 16-23! πŸ’™

‍

For the past six years, the Lynwood Partners Educational Foundation (LPEF) has rallied our community through Lynwood Gives to support scholarships, teacher and school grants, and vital programs like the Lynwood Community Food Pantry. Together, we've proven what's possible when a community unites around education.

‍

The Impact of Your Giving in 2025-26

  • $104,250 in College Pledge and Early Promise Scholarships awarded to 97 graduating seniors and promoted sixth-grade students
  • $10,000 in emergency grants awarded to 20 recent Lynwood Unified graduates facing unexpected college-related expenses
  • More than $32,000 invested in 44 teacher and counselor grants and three school-wide grants
  • 150-200 households served at every Lynwood Community Food Pantry distribution

This year, we're aiming even higher, and we need your help to reach our goal.
