Donations will go toward the fulfillment of our longtime dream, the Woodhill Community Center. The facility at 422 Codell Drive that will house the Center is currently being renovated and is the brick and mortar manifestation of the relationship between The MAP Foundation and Lexington Leadership Foundation (LLF). For the last nine years, LLF’s Urban Impact Ministries (UI) has been investing in the lives of the under served children and families in the Woodhill neighborhood. With hard work and due diligence, as well as the support of partners like you, the Woodhill Community Center will serve as a hub within the community that will help produce Lexington’s next generation of leaders. Additionally, the Center will give us even more opportunities to help children by providing them with tools and resources that are necessary for their growth and success.
