MTF is busy all year long!

Monthly Honorees

In 2023, we celebrated 25 years of service as a trusted resource for assistance with critical needs for children.  Our mission and our service program have remained unchanged over the years!

MTF operates all year long, providing assistance on a weekly basis (50 weeks per year!) to children in Lake County. To share and celebrate MTF’s service program with you, our supporters, each month we focus on a specific aspect of what we do and the dedicated, generous people who make it all happen.  We use our monthly e-mail newsletters to feature these key aspects of MTF and express our gratitude. For more information, see the corresponding pages on our web site or contact us!
