Lithuanian Alliance of America outdoor repair

Established in 1886, the Lithuanian Alliance of America (LAA) -- also called Susivienijimas Lietuvių Amerikoje (SLA) -- is the oldest continuously operating Lithuanian organization in the world. It was founded in Plymouth PA by Lithuanian immigrants to provide economic assistance for newly arrived countrymen in the form of insurance, health benefits, mortgages, and loans. Over the years LAA-SLA has reshaped itself into a multifaceted community organization that brings together a broad spectrum of artistic and cultural activities in the promotion and development of our unique culture and heritage language. 



The historic LAA-SLA building in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan has become an important cultural center for people of Lithuanian American descent and is a venue for academic lectures and readings, documentary and art film presentations, classical folk and contemporary music performances, plays, and art exhibitions. Recently, the building underwent significant renovations to restore the exterior and modernize the interior. The outdoor event space behind the building, however, remains in poor condition and has not seen significant repair in more than half a century. 


For LAA-SLA to continue to remain an important community partner in the current global health crisis, we need a safe outdoor space so we can host cultural and artistic events in a safe and socially-distant environment. Your support would allow us to make basic repairs to allow the outdoor space to be functional and to be able to welcome everyone to the center safely.


LAA-SLA is a registered 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax-deductible. Thank You for your support.
