Community Liaison Helping Fund

The Welcome Center

Established in January 2025, the Welcome Center is a collaborative effort between Lexington Public Schools, Lexington Regional Health Center, and the City of Lexington. Together, these partners created a supportive space where individuals can access assistance from the Community Liaison and other school district programs.

Our Mission Our mission is to help newcomers integrate seamlessly into our community and become active, engaged members of Lexington.

Community Liaison Helping Fund

The Community Liaison Helping Fund is dedicated to supporting families facing emergency situations, serving as a vital lifeline during times of crisis. This financial reserve provides immediate assistance for urgent needs, such as rent, utilities, medical expenses, and food, particularly when other resources are unavailable.

By providing timely relief, the fund helps families navigate unexpected hardships, allowing them to maintain stability and dignity as they work toward long-term solutions. More than just financial aid, this safety net strengthens our community by promoting compassion, resilience, and solidarity.

The Welcome Center is proud to host our first annual Back to School Event! Thanks to the generous donations from our community, we were able to serve 500 students in grades Pre-K through 12th grade by providing free backpacks and school supplies. 

With the incredible support from our community, the event is also offering a variety of resources and fun activities for the whole family. 

We are grateful to everyone who is contributing to the success of this event!

Your Support Matters

To date, the community liaison has assisted over 200 families through direct contact and support. While we are grateful to have strong partnerships with various local agencies, there are times when no existing resource can fully meet a family's needs. That’s when your generous support makes all the difference—helping us bridge the gap and provide meaningful assistance when it's needed most.

We invite you to be part of this effort. Your contribution will directly support families in need. Together, we can make a lasting difference—one family at a time.
