Ohio

LPF opened its inaugural warehouse in Washington, DC in 2013. Since then, we have successfully replicated our model to Baltimore, MD in 2018, Philadelphia, PA in 2021, and now Columbus, OH in 2023! Our program has the opportunity to help local students experience a childhood full of positive youth sports memories and take advantage of the physical and mental benefits youth sports have to offer.

A soccer ball is a portal to more than a sport. It A soccer ball is a portal to more than a sport. It's an invitation to play, make friends, and get outside. The World Cup has concluded, but the impact in our communities continues.
 
This year alone, LPF has distributed over 4,000 soccer balls across our seven markets. Because of your generosity, thousands of kids now have greater access to the game and the opportunity to grow, thrive, and experience the joy that soccer brings.
 
Thank you to everyone who has donated gear, volunteered their time, and contributed financially this summer to ensure LPF can continue bringing joy to more kids🏆
