2025 Community Impact Award – Entry 2

In 2022 Lezzer established CORE, an employee driven and staffed community outreach committee that raised funds throughout the year with the primary goal of providing financial aid to students entering the trades but it also serves to provide financial support to charitable organizations and others in need. In 2025, CORE awarded 3 scholarships. The Maurice Lezzer and the Kenneth Lezzer Legacy Scholarships awarded through the Lancaster Builders Foundation as well as the Wesley Mclaughlin Memorial Scholarship, awarded through Penn Manor High School. Wes was a beloved customer and friend that tragically died early in 2025. In addition, CORE supports many grassroots organizations in the community like The Edible Classroom who builds raised garden beds at elementary schools across the county to teach where food comes from and proper nutrition. We support their efforts with donated materials and volunteers to assist in construction. Lezzer Lumber is also proud of its support of the Lancaster/Lebanon Habitat for Humanity though product discounts and donations as well as volunteer support. With the cost of home ownership out of reach for so many, it is honor to support the Habitat’s mission to make the dream of home ownership a reality for so many in our community.
