 In recent months both LCW and Senior Spirits have made generous contributions to FISH. In May, Senior Spirits welcomed John and Deb, coordinators of Fish, in a presentation of the workings of FISH’s outreach. The following letter was received from them:            

“Dear Senior Spirits at Lord of Life Lutheran Church.                                 

Thank you for the very generous donation of personal care products and $20.00 in cash to buy more. You were so kind in welcoming John and Deb. More of your neighbors come in for help each week, so having your donations available is a true blessing. These tens are always in demand. 

We’ve moved next door to Downers Grove Township Social Service Center. The new location is ADA compliant and will include our Food Pantry and our Clothes Closet of gently used clothes. We can’twait to welcome people inside and are hoping that will happen soon. In the meantime we are continuing our drive-up service and our senior citizen service.                        

Thank you for remembering those who are in need. And please pass our names  along to anyone   who might need our help.            

All the best,

Lynn Hayes            

Corresponding Secretary”            

 

Then Lord of Life once again generously supported FISH through LCW’s God's Work: Our Hands project for July by donating household cleaning supplies and personal items.  

LCW is continuing God's Work: Our Hands by launching its project for August which focuses on the need for school supplies for the children at the Family Shelter in Downers Grove. While we don't know which school the children may attend, we suggest collecting the following types of school supplies:  one inch or two inch 3 ring binders, wide ruled notebooks, one subject spiral notebooks, #2 pencils with erasers, black Sharpie markers, assorted color highlighters, blue or black pens, 24 count crayons, packets or canisters of antibacterial wipes, and Kleenex packets.  

LCW invites you to join them in collecting these supplies for the children.  If you have any questions, please contact Sue Randa or Elaine Sherman."
