Volunteerism Reigns

Over the last few months, we have had focus groups with several constituent groups with the purpose of listening and getting crucial feedback on our agency. We met with clients, volunteers, donors, and church partners. If you have something that you think that we could improve, or something that you think we are doing well, you can provide critical feedback by clicking the button below. This feedback is anonymous.

Give Feedback

Coming out of these focus groups, one thing that we wanted to improve is our engagement with volunteers. Every month we have about 25 volunteers that work for 300 to 400 hours! And those are just the hours we keep track of; many volunteer hours from local churches or other groups are not captured.


The Bible in 1 Peter 4:10 encourages readers, “as each person has received a gift or talent, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s grace.” In other words, use your strengths to serve others--without expectation of remuneration. We are privileged to have volunteers that are using their strengths to bless people in diverse ways. We have volunteers who give us administrative support, help create media, drive to pick up food with no compensation, work with seniors in the Senior Meals program, do data entry, work in the pantry, cook food, clean, make calls, reply to emails, help with our seasonal drives like the Angel Tree Toy Drive, assemble hygiene kits, collect and organize food donations, and so much more. One volunteer named Ann, serves in four or five different capacities and won the LSSN 2022 Volunteer of the Year. Congratulations Ann!


The last two fiscal years we served about 3200 people per month people with grocery assistance, housing, ID recovery, senior services, employment services and other programs for the most vulnerable among us. To all of our faithful volunteers, we want to one more time say thank you! The bottom line is that we could not serve these people in need without you.

Thanksgiving

Thank you so much for all your help for Thanksgiving! We served about 150 families above our normal grocery distribution in which we often serve about 100 families in a day. Thanks to Mountain View Lutheran (pictured below to the right and the students pick up donations from that neighborhood), Christ the Servant, St. Andrew, Green Valley Evangelical, Good Samaritan at the Lakes, Appointed Church, and Community Lutheran. Also thanks to Anthem for providing Turkeys!

Open Air Markets

Another fantastic Open Air Market serving 250 families! Thanks to Morgan Stanley (below left) who collected donations and Holy Spirit Lutheran Church who also had a funeral service the same day as the Open Air Market! Our next one is Saturday, December 17th at Holy Spirit Lutheran from 11:00am to 1:00pm.

Giving Tuesday


Thank you so much to everyone who gave for Giving Tuesday! We ended up with a total of 50 donations for a total of $29,266-this was our biggest campaign ever! Thank you to Pastor Marta and Stefan Schmitt and another anonymous couple who gave towards a donation match. This will help us to express the love of Christ by serving and caring for even more people!
