LCCA Membership Drive

As we wrap up our 9th Annual Charity Golf Outing, I want to extend my sincere thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success.


To our golfers, sponsors, prize donors, volunteers, and community partners—thank you for your generosity and support. Your willingness to invest in the Livingston County Community Alliance and our mission is truly appreciated.


Planning an event like this takes months of preparation, and seeing everything come together because of the support of our community makes all of the hard work worthwhile. I am especially grateful to our volunteers who stepped in on the day of the outing to help registration run smoothly, assist golfers, sell raffle tickets, and keep everything moving throughout the event.


Because of your support, we can continue providing prevention education and building partnerships that help create a healthier, safer Livingston County.


Thank you again for making this year's golf outing a successful event. I truly appreciate each of you. I hope to see everyone again next year and stay tuned for what we have planned!

Holly Oswalt

In-Kind Hours

Have you volunteered on behalf of the LCCA? Have you sent emails, read reports, talked about the coalition, or drove to events? Please fill out our in-kind log!


A requirement of the federal Drug Free Communities grant is getting in-kind match. This can look like donated money, meeting space, free advertising, volunteer hours and mileage, etc. Your time participating in various parts of the LCCA count towards this in-kind match. This fiscal year we are required to match 150% of each dollar we spend federally. Each year we receive $125,000 from the federal government, this means we need to get $187,500 in in-kind match.


Per the federal government, a single volunteer hour is valued at $34.79, and mileage is $0.67/mile. Your time and miles are so valuable!

We could not do this work without our amazing volunteers!


Fill out this form to log your monthly volunteer hours



If you have any hours or miles from last year or this current year that you would like to log, please email Holly Oswalt at hollyo@livingstoncc.org or Sarah McGeorge at sarahm@livingstoncc.org.
