Welcome to the Rod Lemon Foundation (RLF) website. RLF is a 501(c)3 organization located in Anniston, Alabama. Founded in 2014, RLF started with a mission to uplift at-risk kids in urban and low-income communities, igniting within them the belief to pursue their dreams despite societal barriers. Over time, RLF’s commitment has expanded beyond the realm of childhood empowerment, extending to vital support for veterans facing mental health challenges, including mental health education and advocacy, as well as sustainable housing solutions. RLF addresses immediate needs within the community by creating pathways to homeownership and providing financial education, ensuring that every individual and family can thrive.
Additionally, RLF offers health education and a once-yearly clinic to provide health services for underserved members of the community. Dedicated to those that we serve, RLF continues to evolve, driven by the vision of creating healthier and happier communities.
The Rod Lemon Foundation is committed to uplifting individuals and strengthening communities by offering vital support and resources. We focus on providing safe housing, mental health services, and
