Life Guard Ecumenical Foundation (LGEF) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization founded by a group of neighbors in Fair Haven, NJ with the mission of helping neighbors in need.

Since our inception in 2009, Life Guard Ecumenical Foundation has helped more than 250 local families in need of assistance, from grocery store gift cards to utility bills, mortgage payments and tax bills.

Thanks to your support, we were able to help numerous families and neighbors in 2024:

Provided assistance to 7 families, some of which we've helped for multiple months.
3 of these families have a loved one that is suffering from cancer.
Helped a homeless man who is suffering from cancer rent a furnished apartment so that he had somewhere to live the last days of his life. Life Guard paid four months of rent for this man, ensuring that he would be in a safe and dignified home.
Assisted numerous people with rent, car payments, water bills and food gift cards this year.
In total, over 250 families have benefitted from your support since 2009.

Thank you to everyone who not only donated to us this year and in the past, but also those that are on the lookout for others in need. It is your care and love that drives the mission of Life Guard.
