Throughout the 2026-2027 season, LaBelle Lights will help raise funds for End 68 Hours of Hunger, a nonprofit organization working to address the approximately 68-hour period between school lunch on Friday and school breakfast on Monday when some school-age children may experience food insecurity. Guests will have the opportunity to make a voluntary donation to End 68 Hours of Hunger when purchasing LaBelle Lights tickets online.

During the 2025-2026 season, LaBelle Lights guests donated more than $3,000 to the organization.

“Helping children in need is something I care deeply about, and raising awareness for organizations like End 68 Hours of Hunger is an important part of how we give back,” says Amy LaBelle. “LaBelle Lights brings thousands of people together during a season centered on generosity and community, and we are grateful to give our guests an easy way to learn about this important work and support it if they choose.”

LaBelle Winery’s commitment to community giving extends beyond its charitable partnership with End 68 Hours of Hunger. LaBelle Lights also provides schools, athletic leagues, nonprofit organizations, churches and civic groups with opportunities to raise money for their own organizations.

During the 2025-2026 season, more than 50 organizations participated in LaBelle Lights fundraisers, with LaBelle Winery contributing more than $8,000 in matching donations.
