Virtual Event & Community Activities

Since our founding, Lutheran Family Services has been serving children and families who are in the most need.  As the Covid - 19 pandemic continues, thousands of families who never needed assistance until now are reaching out to LFS for support and care.  With your help, we will continue to meet those needs even through these most difficult times. 

The challenge isn't over. It's time to rally for our kids and community!

Why we Rally!  Many children face stress-filled, negative realities. From food insecurity, poverty, anxiety, isolation, abuse and neglect, to the ongoing devastating impact of the Covid pandemic and uncertain landscape. Families need our help!

LFS is meeting those needs!  Through the generosity of our supporters, LFS quickly responded to the pandemic by expanding our Telehealth Services and providing extra help to families who are the most vulnerable. Additionally, thousands of people across Nebraska and western Iowa received LFS's Covid Care Packages containing items like diapers, formula, and hygiene products, as well as receiving help with utilities and other necessities. 

But the need is still there!  That is why Rally 4 Kids will include several opportunities the week of March 7 - 11 to raise support for LFS programs and families in crisis. Activities include a spectacular Raffle, Gift from the Heart Donations, and LFS Care Package Drives.  You can even host a drive at your location if you choose, or visit our Amazon Smiles Wish List and purchase any one of the essential items listed.   

CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE A MUCH NEEDED ITEM FOR THE PEOPLE WE SERVE!

 

We thank you for supporting Rally 4 Kids as a sponsor, donor, or participant in our Raffle and Donation Drives!  Together, we can help thousands get through the hardships of an unprecedented year and back on a path of safety, hope and well-being.
