The foundation of the CLF Collective. Your monthly gift directly sustains our mutual aid network, our community pantries, and our work building a self-sustaining Mahoning Valley — where neighbors have what they need to thrive, and where food insecurity doesn't get the last word. You'll receive our monthly CLF newsletter with community updates, stories from the ground, and real impact reporting on where your dollars go.

You believe in this work enough to invest more — and it shows. Your giving goes beyond sustaining what exists; it helps us grow. At this level you're fueling our advocacy work, expanding our mutual aid network, and pushing forward the community education and self-sustainability programs that give the Mahoning Valley the tools to take care of itself. Everything in Neighbor, plus early access to CLF events before they're announced to the public and recognition in our annual community impact report.

You're not just supporting CLF — you're helping build it. At this level your monthly commitment powers the deeper infrastructure work: expanding our pantry network into more neighborhoods, developing community garden programming, and strengthening the systems that make this Valley more self-reliant month after month. Everything in Advocate, plus your name listed on the CLF website as a sustaining supporter and an invitation to our exclusive annual CLF Collective gathering.

You are building something with us. Your giving at this level funds the work that takes the longest and matters the most — the organizing, the advocacy, the long-term fight against the systems that keep food insecurity and inequality in place across the Mahoning Valley. Everything in Organizer, plus a personal thank-you from CLF's founder and recognition as a major sustaining partner in all CLF materials and campaigns throughout the year.

You are in this from the beginning and you want to see it all the way through.

Founding Collective Members are the people who made it possible for CLF to dream bigger — community farms, expanded mutual aid, neighborhood-led food systems, and a Mahoning Valley that doesn't have to beg broken systems for what it deserves. Everything in Liberator, plus a direct line to CLF leadership, input on future CLF initiatives, and permanent Founding Collective Member recognition across all CLF platforms and materials.
