During these unprecedented times, we ask you to consider making direct donations to The River or Sunshine Place food pantries, so that families who are faced with economic hardship due to COVID can get immediate assistance. Please give generously, many people who count on lunch programs or face lay offs are going to need a lot of help in the weeks ahead.
We actively participate in Stewardship projects through Lutheran World Relief. Quilts, School Kits, Baby Care Kits and Personal Care Kits are assembled each year.
In 2023 we sent to Lutheran World Relief:
78 Quilts
150 School Kits
75 Personal Care Kits
We are currently gathering supplies for the 2024 year for Personal Care Kits and School Kits.
We are a host church for Dane county and volunteer and support several build days each year.
