Inclusive Playground
Help us raise money for an inclusive playground at Shatford Park that will welcome all residents and their caretakers to the park. More than just ADA compliant, an inclusive playground welcomes children of all abilities to learn and play together. At present, there is no inclusive playground in all of Columbia County and many of our surrounding towns.

Youth/Summer Camp
We raise money to support youth activities in New Lebanon, including assisting qualified families with children who want to attend the 8-week summer youth program at Shatford Park. Applicants must prove financial need by showing proof that they receive SNAP benefits. Depending upon money raised, the LVCC will support all or part of each applicant’s camp fees and other youth projects as they become available.

In 2024, we raised over $22,000.00 and were able to support all of our projects.
Through the Backpack Program, which is part of the Northeast New York Regional Foodbank, we were able to support four children during the 2024/25 school year. Each week the backpack program provides children in need a bag filled with nonperishable food as well as bread and produce.
In 2024, we activated our Disaster Relief program to assist a family in New Lebanon whose home was destroyed by fire in December. We have plans to expand this program in 2025 to include online fundraising for families displaced from their home by a natural or accidental disaster.
The NL Holiday Gift Drive was a testament to the spirit of giving within our community. We helped to provide 59 children with toys and clothing. We were also able to issue 25 gift certificates for 25 families in the Lebanon Valley. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Hilltown Pork, who generously matched the gift certificate amounts.
