LexFUN!
About
LexFUN! is a volunteer-run parents’ organization for families with babies, toddlers and preschoolers in and around Lexington. Its nearly 300 members include both working and stay-at-home parents, and the group hosts playground meetups, drop-in kids’ activities, family events and playgroups, along with a members-only online group. Organizers stress that the social side matters: connecting with other parents helps reduce isolation, a risk factor for postpartum depression and anxiety.
Established decades ago, the group is one of the largest volunteer-run parent organizations in Massachusetts. Beyond social events, it runs a consignment sale, a diaper drive and a Kindergarten Connection program to ease the transition to school. It also introduces young children to community service and fundraising. Its charitable arm, the LexFUND! Community fund, supports local families in crisis and awards preschool scholarships.
