Leadership Oswego County - LOC

What do you get when LOC alumni, CiTi BOCES culinary students, and generous donors team up?

🍽️ 176 lasagnas shared with our community — seniors, families, and local pantries.

Huge thanks to everyone who volunteered (especially our drivers!) and braved the sub-arctic temps to get meals where they were needed most.

Leadership in action. Community at heart. Lasagna Love.💛

🥫🍝 Help Us Fill the Stack! 🍝🥫

We’re gearing up for our second annual Lasagna Love service event, where Leadership Oswego County Alumni and CiTi BOCES Culinary Students will come together to prepare homemade lasagnas for families in need across Oswego County.

We’re grateful for the generous contributions from the United Way of Greater Oswego County, the Richard S. Shineman Foundation, the Elks Lodge of Oswego, and our individual donors. Together, they’ve helped us sponsor 87 lasagnas toward our goal of 200.

There’s still time to donate and help us reach as many families as possible. Every sponsored lasagna helps provide a warm, home-cooked meal.

👉 Donate today and help us fill the stack!

❤️🍝 Warm Meals. Warm Hearts. 🍝❤️

One of our favorite LOC holiday traditions is polling the class on the GREAT debate: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? 🎄🎬

This year we got a new answer…
The Class of 2026 mostly said they’ve never even heard of it! 😆

Leadership may be timeless — movie references, not so much!

So now we want to know… What do YOU think? Christmas movie or not? 👇
