We are dedicated to supporting local charities that lift our community, fight for change and care for those in need.
Many associate charity with having deep pockets, but we believe that giving doesn’t have to mean money! We can give in the form of time and acts of kindness. LeMay Family Goodworks aims to inspire others to think differently about giving back and doing good wherever they are.
Michelle LeMay created LeMay Family Goodworks in 2020 as our charitable efforts grew. Today, we focus on establishing a presence in local communities and other areas we regularly visit, including New Hampshire, Boston, Nantucket, and Boca Raton. We love finding ways to make a difference wherever we are by giving our time.
Our charitable organization supports, protects, and defends veterans, children, and families in an effort to promote overall mental and physical well-being in our communities near and far.
We are boots on the ground. We identify a need, we plan, we execute, we deliver. We lead with kindness and by example. We teach that time is giving, and everyone has time to give.
We succeed when our giving becomes abundant, contagious, and intentional.
We love inviting friends, family, and colleagues to join us and gain a new perspective on what it means to give back and do good in their communities. Everyone who joins us leaves with a smile and a full heart.
Inspired by the #GivingTuesday movement, which takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, we decided to make our own commitment to weekly random acts of kindness every Tuesday! Through our #52weeksofgiving project, we’ve assessed the many needs and organizations and supported what speaks to us.
LeMay Family Goodworks invites other organizations, corporations, and like-minded foundations looking for ways to give back to reach out and work with us. We are happy to guide you on amplifying the power of giving and show you the lasting impression it leaves!
Michelle’s Story
Born and raised in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, I have spent the last 25+ years on the New Hampshire Seacoast. Fun fact: I am a dual citizen of Canada! I am a collector of classic cars and enjoy event planning, farming, gardens, and traveling the seas with my loved ones.
After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2003, I was fortunate to receive treatment and guidance from Dr. Maria Houtchens at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston. I continued to have children despite the diagnosis. I am grateful that my MS has taken a benign course, and I can confidently hope to remain relapse-free with little to no disease progression. Dr. Houtchens introduced me to Ann Romney and The Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Diseases. Ann Romney’s impact and mindset sparked my passion for nonprofit work. Life transitions later gave me the freedom to fully pursue this path.
My journey toward elite health and wellness following my MS diagnosis gave me a renewed love for farming and gardening. This is where I embarked on building Le Beau Domaine, our family’s farm estate in North Hampton, NH — a property created to share with my children, family, friends, and the communities we serve through our foundation’s work. We raise beef cows, alpacas, goats, and poultry on our heartwarming family farm. We dabble in beekeeping, maple syrup production, mushroom farming, and maintain abundant greenhouse operations and vegetable gardens. We enjoy horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and spending time together on our special property.
In 2020, I launched LeMay Family Goodworks, a unique family-run volunteer organization. We hit the ground running with a boots-on-the-ground approach, assessing how we could best support local organizations and find our niche in the giving space.
LeMay Family Goodworks supports, protects, and defends veterans, children, and families in an effort to promote overall mental and physical well-being in our communities near and afar.
As the founder of LeMay Family Goodworks, I am honored to continue this journey with my family, as we continue to advance our mission by creating awareness, inspiring contagious giving and proving that the most powerful legacies are built one small act of kindness at a time.
