Serving and Giving

Eric and LaVonne place a high value on serving others and giving back to the community! Listed here are just a few of the many organizations and charities we volunteer our time and finances to. In 2018 we kicked off a strong campaign at Strellner Financial Group to get engaged and involved in our community and we’re seeing the fruit of these efforts in many ways!


The benefits of volunteering are enormous to you, your family, and your community. Both Giving and serving can help you reduce stress, find friends, reach out to the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career. Supporting others can also help protect your mental and physical health.


If you’re interested in joining us by donating your time or money to these or any other organizations, please contact us and let us know. You will be added to our email list notifying you of events we’re participating in. You can email us at lsmith@sfg-cfg.com.
