Private gifts and grants from individuals, corporations and foundations are vital to the Learning and & Loving Education Center’s operation as classes are offered tuition free. The Learning and Loving Education Center, a non-profit organization, has been dedicated to meeting the needs of low-income families in our community for 13 years. With the help of donors and volunteers, we have assisted over 3,000 individuals work towards increasing their skills and self-sufficiency.
