Helping families build skills, access essentials, and feel supported.
We are a Lafayette-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving children, families, and aspiring entrepreneurs in Lafayette and surrounding communities. EELA brings together education, mentorship, workforce and business skills, and practical support such as food, clothing, and holiday assistance.
HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS
Donations and sponsorships help us prepare learning experiences and provide family care items, food, clothing, and gifts through our community programs. Businesses can also contribute supplies, sponsor a program, or collaborate on an event.
