About Us

A Little From A Lot is dedicated to offering help and instilling hope in families facing adversity by supplying essential goods to meet their basic needs. Through generous donations, we strive to bridge the gap for struggling individuals, expressing love and compassion while alleviating the challenges faced by low-income families.

Our mission is rooted in fostering dignity and elevating hope, as we extend a helping hand to those in need. Inspired by the spirit of community and shared responsibility, our approach aligns with the biblical principle from Acts 2:44-45, where believers came together, shared everything in common, and willingly contributed to support those with needs.

A Little From A Lot was founded by Dr. Ola McLendon, who spent over 40 years teaching, mentoring, and championing kids and families before she ever opened a donation closet.

That instinct never left her. It just found a new home: turning everyday generosity — a few hours, some supplies, a few dollars — into real relief for families who are one bad week away from crisis.

She has been happily married to Harold D. McLendon for over 40 years and they have two talented sons, Luke and Omar McLendon. Additionally, they have caring daughter-in-laws, Sadie and Tiara McLendon, along with four wonderful grandchildren: Henry, Rosie, Jackson, and Carter McLendon
