Make LMM Your Charity of Choice for Year End Giving
Did you know that more than 30 percent of all charitable donations happen in the month of December, and 12 percent of donations are processed on December 30th and 31st? Will LMM be your charity of choice over the holidays?

Serving more than 4,000 individuals each year, LMM is a trusted community partner in addressing chronic social challenges such as homelessness, food insecurity, care for vulnerable seniors, protecting youth in crisis and empowering restored citizens.

We invite you to do more than just donate; help LMM make a lasting impact upon the lives of people who are lost, hurting and feel forgotten. Please consider a generous contribution to LMM for your year-end charitable gifts!
Happy Holidays and Go Cavs!
Happy Holidays to this small but mighty group of frontline heroes at LMM! The Cavs invited these LMM staffers to a game a few weeks ago to recognize their dedication to people in need in NEO. They have served hundreds of thousands of meals to people who are homeless during the pandemic.

Since day one of COVID arriving in Ohio, our Workforce Development team showed up and spent time away from their families during a health crisis full of unknown safety risks so not one sheltered homeless individual in Cleveland would go hungry. Thank you, Cavs!
Giving Season Blessings
Octavia Maynard, Staff Guardian at LMM, organized a donation drive with her family and friends and was able to gather essential items to gift her wards this holiday season.

We're grateful for special holiday blessings like this! #GivingSeason
Great Food, Better Story
If you haven’t heard, we have a FOOD TRUCK!

Our new social enterprise (hello, job training!) is out and about around town, and also available for booking. It’s not just for culinary gigs though, we take the truck to shelters to provide an alternative way to receive a meal. Instead of going through the line in the cafeteria, our Men’s Shelter guys get to experience the food truck craze in CLE and can go up and order what they’d like, at no cost to them. Talk about a holiday gift of dignity and normalcy.

YOU can sponsor a food truck meal for 400 men who are homeless and residing at 2100 Lakeside, for just $600. To give this unique gift for your year-end donation, contact Ian Marks at imarks@lutheranmetro.org.
