Help support the mission of Lutheran Social Services! LSS is a human services and immigration relief and refugee welcome agency, helping resettling refugees in the Capital Area since 1917.
The needs of resettlement agencies, like all humanitarian agencies which had been promised and allotted federal funding to continue their established services, became dire with the sudden order to stop all funding. For LSS this meant no funds to begin initial work with families who had been rigorously vetted, chosen and already flown here with legal status. LSS is owed millions of dollars by the federal government for services already provided.
This potluck is meant to raise funds for LSS and awareness of this important and faithful humanitarian work. Deacon Emily Orner, Community Engagement Specialist at LSS, will be our speaker for the evening. A sign up sheet to bring food is in the Narthex.
