Lutheran World Relief

 

Every day in 35 countries, Lutheran World Relief  works to combat the causes of poverty and the dignity it robs from people’s lives. We advocate for Fair Trade that helps farming families and artisans earn a better income. We teach people to better care for themselves, their communities and the environment. We teach people how to be less vulnerable to natural disasters.  Last year, LWR sent 1,455 tons of quilts and kits worth more than $13 million to more than 740,000 people.

 

This year, Messiah Lutheran Church supported Lutheran World Relief  with 94 boxes of supplies weighing in  at a staggering 2,159 pounds.  These boxes contained:

 

• 195 Layette kits
• 625 School kits
• 150 Health Kits

 

Lutheran World Relief’s supply of health kits remains critically low as requests for assistance across the world increase.
