Lovesick Lake Native Women’s Association
“Helping People Help Themselves”
The Organization
 LLNWA was founded in 1982 by a group of local women inspired
by the overwhelming needs for services in their community. The organization
became a non-profit corporation in 1984. LLNWA has grown from the initial
volunteer efforts to an active community organization. It is a group
of people dedicated to the social, health, and economic development
of the rural communities within a 20 mile radius of Peterborough County.

to assist in the advancement of community and area residents through
