THREE PILLARS: FEED, READ, LEAD
The Marcella Foundation is dedicated to investing in innovative ideas to make a positive impact in South Lake Tahoe and beyond across three core pillars: FEED, READ, and LEAD. Under FEED, we aim to ensure that the community has access to essential food for healthy lives. In READ, we foster childhood literacy through community support. Lastly, under LEAD, we offer scholarships, support college readiness, and are piloting a program called Momentum Mentors.
