Upcoming Community Events
For any community development project to truly succeed, strong and sustained community support is essential from the very beginning. At LPCDC, we thoughtfully design impactful programs, host dynamic events, and lead meaningful initiatives—all with the goal of fostering deep community engagement and empowering residents to take an active role in shaping their future.
We believe that meaningful connection is a catalyst for lasting change. At Living for Purpose CDC, our events are designed to do more than gather people—they’re created to educate, support, and inspire. From workshops and wellness seminars to family-centered drives and community recovery programs, every event is an opportunity to strengthen individuals, build trust, and foster unity.
Whether you’re seeking guidance, offering support, or simply looking to connect with like-minded individuals, we invite you to join us as we work together to uplift and empower our community—one event at a time.
