GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS JOY

Lutheran Family Services in the Carolinas has been entrusted with the care of many of God’s children across North and South Carolina. Throughout the year, we strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment for each one of them. And at Christmas, we want all of those we serve in residential care to experience the special joy of both giving and receiving. 

Through the Gifts of Christmas Joy Program, you can provide gift certificates to individuals in our residential programs. With the certificates, our clients may then purchase gifts for themselves, their families and/or friends. 

Checks should be mailed by November 30, in order to provide adequate time to distribute the certificates and take the clients shopping. Gifts received after November 30 will be used later in the year for birthdays or other holidays.

Thank you for being a part of this special program. Your gift will help others to experience the joy of giving at Christmas.

LUTHERAN FAMILY SERVICES KITS

      Each year, we collect needed items for the children, families, and refugees served by Lutheran Family Services in the Carolinas. We bring these items to the NC Women of the ELCA Gathering, which will be held this year from June 15 through June 17, 2007 at Lenoir-Rhyne College. Lutheran Family Services' staff will assist in unloading our contributions in the front yard of Monroe Auditorium.

      Items do not need to be  packaged in kits or in any specific combination. If, however, you would like to package your collection, here are some ideas for containers:  backpacks, gym bags,  laundry baskets, paper bags, or boxes. 

.     If your congregational unit is unable to bring items, consider sponsoring a child for a day, a week, a month, or longer!  Checks should be made out "Lutheran Family Services". Write "Child Sponsorship" in the memo line.

 Thank you for your continued support of Lutheran Family Services!
