About Us
Welcome to the LMW Community Foundation, a proud 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to empowering our community through reliable transportation solutions. Founded by John Lascuola, our foundation is an extension of LMW Auto Repair, established just a few months ago with a mission to support those in need.
Our journey started a few years back when the Carroll County Veterans Independence Project (CCVIP) asked us to repair a car for a veteran. This first project ignited our passion for community service. Since then, we’ve partnered with various organizations to provide essential transportation to those who need it most. In just a year or two, we’ve proudly given away six or seven cars, transforming lives and fostering independence.
Besides car giveaways, we host free automotive classes to educate community members about car maintenance and safety. We believe knowledge is power. By teaching these skills, we aim to boost confidence and self-sufficiency among our participants.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to expand our efforts into road cleanup initiatives. We’re coordinating with the county to ensure these activities are conducted properly and make a positive impact on our environment.
At the LMW Community Foundation, we’re committed to driving change and making a difference, one car at a time.
