Last year, your generosity helped give over 200 kids at RefugeeOne a wonderful Christmas! St. Luke’s is partnering with RefugeeOne again this year. Last year was so successful, that we will be repeating what we did by providing monetary donations to give each child a gift. Our goal is to raise $25 per child; with that level of support, each child will receive a bag full of candy, one small item and a gift card.
Each of us has much to be thankful for this year. Please join the community in giving thanks in person or online.
Leave the bird in the freezer. We will be accepting money donations instead of turkeys. If you are able to donate, please make checks payable to St. Luke’s and mark Turkey Drive in the memo section. Drop your donations in the office by Sunday, November 21st. You may also contribute online.
World Hunger Appeal Thanksgiving is the time of year when we gather to remember all that we have to be thankful for. However, there are still families locally and nationally who suffer from food insecurity. Please take a moment to make a donation to ELCA World Hunger to make this Thanksgiving memorable for those less fortunate.

World Hunger Campaign – There are many ways to fight hunger. Clinics and community health programs provide health education and medical assistance for people living in poverty; and work to stop epidemics like malaria, water-borne illnesses, HIV, and AIDS.
