Lansing Chamber Charities: Fostering Community Spirit, Supporting Underserved Children
Mission Statement:
At Lansing Chamber Charities, our mission is simple yet profound: to foster community spirit while supporting underserved children in our community. We believe in the power of giving back and creating meaningful experiences that uplift both individuals and families.
Through a variety of events and initiatives, we strive to bring our community together, celebrate our shared values, and make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
Key Events:
- Good Neighbor Parade: Each year, we organize the Good Neighbor Parade, a vibrant celebration of community spirit. This event brings together local businesses, community groups, and residents to showcase their creativity and unity. The funds raised from parade entry fees directly support our efforts to give back to the community.
- Easter Bunny Pancake Breakfast: Our festive Easter Bunny Pancake Breakfast is a family-friendly event where families can come together to enjoy a delicious breakfast and meet the Easter Bunny. The proceeds from ticket sales help us provide essential support to underserved children in our community.
- Santa Breakfast: Our Santa Breakfast is a cherished tradition where families can enjoy a magical breakfast with Santa Claus himself. Ticket sales from this event enable us to continue our mission of giving back to underserved children in our community.
- Christmas Giving: The holiday season is a time for giving, and our Christmas Giving programs aim to spread joy to underserved children and families. We collect donations and organize fundraisers to purchase Christmas gifts for those in need.
Our Impact:
Through the funds raised from our events, we are able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of underserved children in the Lansing area. We purchase school supplies to ensure every child has the tools they need to succeed in school. Additionally, we provide Christmas gifts to bring joy and warmth to families during the holiday season.

Lansing Chamber Charities: Narrative of Purpose:
Lansing Chamber Charities exists exclusively for charitable purposes that serve the people of Illinois. Our mission is to strengthen communities by supporting underserved children and families, fostering civic pride, and providing resources that enhance quality of life across the state.
We carry out this mission through programs that provide school supplies, holiday support, clothing, food, and other essential assistance to children and families in need. These efforts relieve the burdens of poverty and promote equal access to educational and community opportunities.
All of our events and fundraising activities are conducted to support these charitable purposes. Proceeds are used to benefit the public — not for private gain — and are directed toward services that directly assist underserved populations throughout Illinois.
By promoting community engagement and extending vital support to families facing hardship, Lansing Chamber Charities helps create a stronger, healthier, and more inclusive Illinois.
