SHARE Greater Lynchburg was born out of a COVID-19 Coordinating Committee organized in April 2020 by Ron Feinman to help our local community find solutions for weathering the economic and health impacts of COVID-19. SHARE Greater Lynchburg is the result of a group of dedicated leaders bringing this solution to the Greater Lynchburg region and working together to raise funds from corporations and foundations to make it a reality. It puts local residents directly in touch with their favorite local nonprofits, as well as introducing them to nonprofits they didn't know existed. Their website serves as a database of over 100 different nonprofit organizations throughout Central Virginia.
Dear Friends,
The warmer weather today has my hopes rising for a new and different spring coming soon. At the same time, I mourn for the families of those lost to the pandemic and to the vacuum left by the passing of so many valuable lives.
2021 is here and we are so thankful that you are here to celebrate with us. 2020 brought on many challenges, and while it may have caused quite a bit of devastation, it also showed us a glimmer of hope. We were happy to see so many of you join in and help your neighbors this past year. From the COVID Relief Fund to the Change for Change Parking Meters, you all showed our community how much you care and how much we can do when we come together.
This year has presented so many challenges for our community. But with every challenge, it has been beautiful to see everyone come together and help each other during such a difficult time. We have been amazed by the support for our COVID-19 Relief fund with the Central Virginia United Way and the support for our Change for Change Parking Meters. Your efforts to give and support your neighbors speaks volumes to who we are as a community and what we can do when we work together!
Dear Friends,
During these strange times, many of us have had to adapt to the necessities of staying healthy, being responsible to others for their well-being, and finding ways to continue our missions. The Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation has found itself in a unique position to work on some creative ways to enhance the quality of life of our citizens.
