Leadership Livingston Alumni Program is open to graduates of the Leadership Livingston Program. The program was developed for Alumni to stay connected, continue to grow, provide a community service channel and, most importantly, to continue making Livingston Parish better.

Alumni Christmas Reunion _ Blanket Drive _ April (3)

Blanket Drive. Introduced in 2019, the Leadership Livingston Alumni Program launched a blanket drive to impact private nonprofits in Livingston Parish. The idea for the drive came about when the Chamber was contacted by a local agency asking for assistance in providing blankets to their clients.

With uncertaintly in 2020 about the transfer of covid, we skipped a year. In 2021, we returned bigger and better with over 1000 blankets collected and delivered to agencies parish wide.

Over 1000 blankets were collected and distributed to agencies across the parish. The initiative ran December 2 - 20th. Thousands in donations were collected and combined with blankets dropped off, put the initiative at its biggest year yet with over 1000 collected. Funds for the program were disbursed through the Livingston Chamber Foundation, the 501 C3 arm of the Chamber. Here is the full press release.

"We saw how quickly the business community rallied to help our local citizens in need. We decided to jump in and expand on the help we offered last year. The perfect vehicle for the Livingston Parish Chamber to complete this project through is our Leadership Livingston Alumni program," said April Wehrs, Chamber President & CEO.

Blankets will be collected at the Livingston Parish Chamber of Commerce office at 248 Veterans Blvd Denham Springs, LA 70727, and additional locations as they become available.

“Leadership Alumni have been a part of championing our community through the Leadership Livingston class and have already completed impactful community projects. Alumni are excited about this project. Originally, we looked at providing blankets for one agency, but decided that there would be a greater reach if all agencies in Livingston Parish were able to participate,” said Wehrs.
