The Lambourne Institute for Life Mastery has spent the last 2 years of the COVID 19 pandemic supporting local food insecure individuals and families with grocery store gift cards.  This program was very successful and is now closed. 

We currently are in the process of dissolving our organization and will be making donations to other non-profits by the end of the year.
