Lutheran World Relief Parish Projects

God calls each of us in Micah 6:8 to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly. Let Lutheran World Relief be your partner in that call! Thousands of women, men and children are, in very real ways, using the time, talents and treasures that God has blessed us with to serve our neighbors around the world. They are making quilts, assembling layettes and school, health and sewing kits, gathering used clothing and new soap. In parishes and homes they are drinking fair trade coffee, tea and hot cocoa. They are purchasing fairly traded handcrafts to give as gifts and use in their own homes. Lutheran World Relief works with partners in 50 countries to help people grow food, improve health, strengthen communities, end conflict, build livelihoods and recover from disasters. With people in the U.S., we work for justice for those we serve.
Order the free "Be Involved" brochure for directions on how to participate in each of these projects and where to send completed projects. To order call (1-800-597-5972).
