Join the Lithuanian National Guard in Preserving Heritage and Strengthening Community Bonds Through a New Headquarters Effort
#GivingTuesday: A Day of Global Generosity
Every year, #GivingTuesday reminds us of the power of collective action to bring about significant change. For the Lithuanian National Guard (LNG), it’s an opportunity to rally supporters worldwide to join our mission of preserving Lithuanian heritage and promoting independence.
Originating in 2012, #GivingTuesday is a global movement that inspires millions to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. This year, we’re focusing on a vital project: establishing a new headquarters at Chicago’s Lithuanian Youth Center to serve our community better and strengthen our impact.

A Vision for the Future – The New Headquarters
The Lithuanian National Guard’s new headquarters will not be built but rented at Chicago’s Lithuanian Youth Center. This location is a practical choice, reflecting our commitment to connecting with the diaspora and ensuring accessibility for our members.
This headquarters will serve as a hub for training sessions, cultural events, and educational programs that inspire and unite our members and the broader community. It will also provide a space to safeguard historical documents and artifacts, ensuring they remain a source of pride and learning for future generations.
Why Your Support Matters
Renting and outfitting a headquarters requires resources and community backing. This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to be part of this effort. Your donations directly contribute to:
- Rent and Upkeep: Ensuring the space is functional and welcoming for all our initiatives.
- Historical Preservation: Safeguard invaluable artifacts and documents for generations to come.
