Lodestar currently serves around 145 families in four counties. Our staff has grown to over 60 employees, some of which have begun working with clients in Brooklyn! Lodestar also added a new board member – thank you to Michelle Caminas, longtime supporter and donor, for sharing your expertise.
Our fundraiser – Milestones for Mental Health – was a resounding success! Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to raise approximately $55,000, exceeding our goal! All of this money will go towards providing children with the beneficial services that they need to live fulfilling lives.
