SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

LovExtension is a nonprofit organization consisting entirely of volunteers who are serving to improve life for the under-served elderly and disabled communities in Lake County and The Villages, Florida. Primarily, we provide social and well-being visits for folks who do not have much support, and we also distribute donated items and supplies to those in need.

We are happy to support the LovExtension of Lake County and The Villages, and the work they do in our community by donating a portion of the gate proceeds to their great organization.
