Beyond their exceptional craftsmanship, what sets LA Group apart is their strong commitment to supporting the local community. According to Brisebois, community involvement has always been a core value at LA Group.

“The people of Kemptville have been incredibly supportive of our business over the years, and we’re always looking for ways to give back,” said Brisebois. “House of Lazarus does such important work, and we are proud to support them in any way we can.”

This donation is another example of LA Group’s dedication to helping the Kemptville community thrive. Whether through their work on building homes or supporting local organizations, LA Group consistently demonstrates its deep-rooted connection to the area.

A New Chapter for House of Lazarus’ Kitchen Programs

The impact of this donation goes beyond simply providing new equipment. The House of Lazarus plans to use this commercial kitchen equipment to expand its outreach efforts and create new opportunities for the community. Executive Director Cathy Ashby expressed her gratitude for the donation, noting how it will positively affect the organization’s ability to serve more people in Kemptville and surrounding areas.

“We are humbled by LA Group’s generous donation of commercial kitchen equipment. This equipment is going to have an incredible impact on House of Lazarus,” said Ashby. “It is our hope that, in the future, this equipment will allow us to offer cooking and baking lessons to our clients and the community, help us feed more people through our outreach programs (like our take-out and Dinner on the House meals), and perhaps even provide an additional avenue for fundraising events.”

With these new tools, House of Lazarus aims to improve its ability to serve those in need, while also creating educational opportunities that can help empower individuals and families. The potential for hosting cooking classes, food preparation workshops, and more will give people in Kemptville the chance to learn new skills that can be useful in their everyday lives.

Strengthening Community Bonds

This generous donation highlights the importance of local businesses supporting community organizations. The House of Lazarus has been a pillar of the Kemptville community, offering essential services such as food banks, clothing assistance, and housing programs. LA Group’s contribution helps ensure that these services can continue to grow and make an even greater impact on those in need.

The new kitchen equipment will not only enhance the charity’s current food preparation efforts but also open up new avenues for growth, particularly in education and community engagement. Programs such as cooking and baking lessons could provide residents with practical life skills while strengthening the community’s sense of togetherness.
