The Laurel Oak Garden Club recently visited Lotus' Mayfield campus for its October meeting, featuring presentations from the organization's CEO Lori Brown and Director of Community Activities Hadley Purcell. Following breakfast beneath the facility’s outdoor pavilion, Brown discussed the advocacy and care services that Lotus provides to survivors of sexual assault and child abuse, before members received a guided tour of the facility at 333 E. Broadway.Since opening in January 2024, the Mayfield location has expanded access to specialized services throughout the southern Purchase Area and now serves approximately 40% of Lotus clients. Across the region, the organization assists more than 2,500 children, survivors and supportive family members annually, with all services provided at no cost.Those interested in supporting Lotus' mission can contribute to their Year-End Giving Campaign at www.hopehealgrow.org/donate.
