Website Launching March 1, 2026


Lantern & Branch has always been about what happens when a community shows up for itself. We’ve spent the past year listening, building quietly, and asking how we can help fill the gaps together.

On March 1st, we’re launching our official website:
a local tool built for Albemarle County, where neighbors can share needs, offer support, and stay connected to what’s happening around them.

This isn’t just a project. It’s a growing space for collective care, where volunteers have a voice, where small acts add up, and where no one falls through unseen.

To kick it off, we’ll be hosting our first community drive supporting reentry care, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Until then:
Follow, share, talk to your people.
Because just being in it together matters.
And this only works if we build it with you.
