Who We Are

About Lakewood Charity

Our Story

From a Small Church to a Global Movement


Lakewood Charity began in 2004 as a small outreach program from Lakewood Community Church — distributing meals to families in the neighbourhood surrounding our building. What started as a handful of volunteers with a van and a prayer has grown into an international non-profit serving communities across three continents.

Our founders believed that the local church was not merely a spiritual institution, but a force for tangible, measurable good. Today, that belief drives every project, every partnership, and every dollar we steward.
