Greater Washington

LPF was founded in 2013 out of Silver Spring, MD to serve students living in and around Washington, DC. LPF Founder, Max Levitt, grew up in suburban Washington, DC and knew first-hand how much equipment went to waste throughout his community. At the same time, he would spend countless hours volunteering in some of the DC area’s most vulnerable communities where he saw kids unable to afford the equipment needed to participate in athletics. As a result, he founded LPF to funnel used equipment to the students who really needed it. Since its founding, thousands of families in the DC area have contributed equipment to our cause and spent numerous hours volunteering in our warehouse. Since our founding we have been able to provide equipment to over 700 programs working with students in and around Washington DC.
