About Us
Who We Are
The Lara Family Foundation was born from a simple but powerful belief — that faith should move us to action.
What started as a family effort to care for the homeless and struggling in our city has grown into a faith-driven foundation dedicated to restoring dignity, providing opportunity, and sharing hope through tangible acts of love.
We are more than an organization; we are a movement of compassion. Every initiative, outreach, and partnership we pursue is guided by the same core truth: when families of faith step forward, communities can be transformed.
Our Mission
To restore hope and dignity to individuals and families in need by meeting practical needs, fostering faith, and creating opportunities for lasting transformation.
Our Vision
A world where every person has the support, community, and faith foundation needed to rebuild their life — one act of compassion at a time.
Our Core Values
Faith in Action
We live out our belief that faith must be active — shown through service, compassion, and love for others.
Dignity for All
Every person is created in the image of God and deserves respect, opportunity, and hope.
Stewardship
We use every resource — time, talent, and funding — with integrity and purpose to create lasting impact.
Family Legacy
We believe lasting change begins in the family and expands outward to the community.
Partnership
We collaborate with churches, local organizations, and businesses to multiply our reach and impact.
Our Foundation Family
The Lara Family Foundation operates under the umbrella of the Lara Family Trust and is supported by Lara Group Holdings — a collection of family-run businesses committed to excellence, integrity, and social responsibility.
Through this partnership, we ensure that success in business fuels impact in ministry — creating a sustainable model of giving that can be passed down for generations.
