This past Saturday staff from our Merrillville, Indiana office had the opportunity to give back by volunteering for the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana. Volunteering for their Mobile Market, our staff was able to help distribute food and take food out to cars.
It was an honor to be able to help serve food to nearly 500 individuals in need. Thank you to the Food Bank for this opportunity. And an even greater thanks to our staff for volunteering their time on a Saturday morning!
If you’re in the Merrillville area, be sure to join us at the Food Bank on Saturday, November 16, 2019 for our annual Turkey Giveaway event! We’ll be giving away 500 frozen turkeys!
Our Lerner and Rowe Gives Back Team attended the Women’s Resource Medical Center’s Race For Life 5K event on a beautiful Saturday morning. Over 500 people came out to support this very special charity.
“At Lerner and Rowe, we love to support viable charities like the Women’s Resource Medical Center’s Center. They not only provide a vital service to families, but the 5K event also provides the opportunity for our employees to attend and give back to the community at large,” stated Glen Lerner.

Our Lerner and Rowe Gives Back Team enjoyed hosting a few of our community partners at Hoving Home’s 9th Annual Gala on October 11, 2019. It was a wonderful evening hearing the life stories of a few women who graduated the program, including a few who are paying it forward by working at one of the five campuses.
“I had the pleasure of speaking at last year’s Gala and the ladies stories of transformation left a truly lasting impression. When the choir of all women who are in the program hit the stage, I was deeply moved by the realization of the thousands of lives being transformed by the Hoving Home,” stated Glen Lerner.
How Proceeds from the Hoving Home Gala Make a Difference
The funds raised through their annual gala help Hoving Home to continue providing a home and special curriculum to women for an entire year who seek assistance in learning how to deal with controlling issues, such as drugs and alcohol.
The Walter Hoving Home is a non-profit ministry that began in Garrison, New York in 1967 by John and Elsie Benton. In 2006, the Walter Hoving Home opened a home in Las Vegas, Nevada. The organization is very encouraged to witness the dedication of these women as they turn their lives around.
