Empowering children and families in Lexington's North District to achieve anything and everything.

It takes a village to raise a child

We’re here to help the village. CIL is based in North Lexington and provides services and programs for community members, specifically kids, to enrich their lives and empower them to achieve anything and everything.

Serving since 2014

Since 2014,

CIL has served over 200 kids and their families in North Lexington with programs, meals, and resource support.

Since September 2021, 

We've provided over 37,000 pounds of fresh fruit, vegetables and meats to families in North Lexington.

100% of our programming

Is free to participants. This makes us the only nonprofit to provide completely free programming. 

An after school program, a club,
a camp, and much more

CIL offers completely free programming to the community. Kids can attend our weekly After School Club, ​join adventure clubs, go on field trips, and a whole lot more.

We are the only non profit in the area that is completely free, making us accessible to those most in need.

2022 Year In Review

​2022 was a very busy year. We formed the CommUNITY Council with other organizations and stakeholders to provide a wider variety of services to the community. Diaper and Baby Formula drives and distributions, Community Baby Showers, furniture, and household items, Single Parent Programs and a host of other opportunities for those in need.
•Our photography program received community recognition. They continue to learn new skills they can carry into the future.
•Our food pantry thrived and grew. We successfully built and planted our first community garden. Families have harvested green from the garden up until February.
•Our summer camp is going into its 8th year. We partnered with the WECEP program and had 80 children in attendance the first 2 weeks last year. We then hosted our regular camp for 40-50 children for 2 additional weeks
•We awarded our 2nd Annual Mike Thomas/Kamaria Spaulding Memorial Scholarship to a deserving high school student. This scholarship is to honor our co-founder Mike and his niece Kamaria who were taken from us much too soon.
•Last but certainly not least we completed a rebranding process that provided us with a fresh new look and name that is more in line with our mission, to provide enriching opportunities and be a steady, supportive presence for youth and families in the Greater Lexington Community. We feel it is important to know all our services and programs are free, so all donations and sponsorships are important.
•This is just a brief description of the services we provide in the community with our friends and partners,
