Learn, Grow & Give
Throughout our campaign, we invite you to learn more about the causes of hunger, join us in feeding our neighbors, and raise money to address hunger throughout the world.
Each Sunday during our campaign, adults and high school-aged youth are invited to join us for a series of special speakers on hunger, followed by time for questions and conversation.
Sunday, September 15 - Rev. Dan Rift, ELCA World Hunger
Join Rev. Rift for a deep dive into ELCA World Hunger's work. Rev. Rift will discuss ways to increase our impact and LCR's importance to the work that brings hope and possibility to so many. We will explore ways the church takes action in places where others often cannot or do not.
Sunday, September 22 - Lauren Smith, ELCA World Hunger
This week, we’ll be learning from Lauren Smith, Director of Education and Networks for the Building Resilient Communities team of ELCA World Hunger and Lutheran Disaster Response.
Sunday, September 29 - Jolie Prasser, SEM Food Pantry
LCR member and longtime SEM Food Pantry board member Jolie Prasser will highlight SEM’s positive impact on our hungry neighbors. Jolie will also share about the Racetrack Chaplaincy work to meet the needs of racetrack workers in our region. LCR supports both ministries through financial gifts and tangible giving.
Sunday, October 6 - Pastor Nicole
Pastor Nicole will preach on the topic of hunger this Sunday and the call to be God's hands in our hungry world. Our Adult Sunday School session will continue this important conversation.
We partner with ELCA World Hunger, a nonprofit uniquely positioned to reach communities in need. ELCA works with churches and organizations to not only feed hungry people, but address the root causes of hunger.
From ELCA World Hunger:
By providing immediate relief to those who are hungry, we meet basic needs and recognize the universal human right to food. But ending hunger is about more than food.
By connecting people with the resources they need to produce food and gain access to clean water, education, health care and sources of income, long-term, sustainable change can be accomplished."
LCR also partners with local and regional food pantries: IPM, SEM and Manna from Heaven (Myra, Kentucky). Globally, we support the nonprofit DIG in Guatemala.
Giving online is quick, secure and easy. 100% of your donation goes to ELCA World Hunger to help address the root causes of hunger.
We are deeply grateful for your generous support.
