Supporting the extraordinary work of Mama Lana’s Community Foundation
In the heart of Penrith, a beacon of hope shines brightly. Founded by the inspiring duo of Lana and Roger Borg, Mama Lana’s Community Foundation is a sanctuary for those experiencing homelessness. This remarkable charity offers more than just sustenance; it provides a lifeline to those in need.
Every evening, the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals fills the air as the foundation opens its doors to welcome up to 300 people. Beyond nourishment, they offer a haven of dignity with clean clothing, warm showers, and essential hygiene products. For families with children, the foundation provides school lunches, ensuring young minds are fueled for learning. In the colder months, blankets and sleeping bags offer a crucial layer of warmth and safety.
Recognizing the complex challenges faced by the homeless community, Lana and Roger have gone above and beyond to provide comprehensive support. They understand that homelessness often co-exists with mental health issues, and have previously offered on-site therapy to help individuals begin their healing journey.
Recent media coverage has rightfully celebrated the incredible work of Mama Lana’s Community Foundation. Their selfless dedication to the community has inspired many, and we at Enrich Abilities/The Co-Group are honored to contribute to their mission with a $20,000 donation. This funding will enable the foundation to expand its services and reach an even greater number of people in need.
While the media spotlight is a testament to their impact, the true measure of Mama Lana’s Community Foundation lies in the lives it transforms daily. Their unwavering commitment to serving the most vulnerable members of our community is an inspiration to us all.
We encourage everyone to learn more about this extraordinary organization and consider supporting their vital work. Together, we can create a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
