The Heart Behind ERA Lambros
The ERA Lambros Community Foundation was established in 2002 by Ed Coffman and Karen Reyner with a simple, powerful mission: to support the well-being of individuals and families in the communities we serve.
For over 20 years, we’ve partnered with local organizations and community efforts to help ensure access to essential needs like food, clothing, and shelter across Western Montana. Through strategic funding, hands-on volunteerism, and a deep commitment to service, the Foundation helps bridge gaps and uplift those facing hardship in our region.
To date, we’ve invested more than $300,000 into meaningful, community-rooted work, and our commitment continues to grow. At ERA Lambros, giving back isn’t just a value — it’s the heart of who we are.
Together, we’re creating stronger, more resilient communities — one connection at a time.
Latest from the ERA Lambros Foundation
CANdemonium
CANdemonium is always a favorite around here—a creative, community-driven event that shows just how much can happen when people come together for a good cause. From imaginative builds to shared teamwork, it’s all in support of the Missoula Food Bank and the neighbors they serve.
Missoula Food Bank
Our team stepped away from the office and into the heart of our community, volunteering at the Missoula Food Bank to help sort and prepare food for local families. It was a meaningful reminder that community is more than a word—it’s the foundation of everything we do at ERA Lambros. We’re proud to serve, support, and show up for the people who make this place home.
