Living Lord Lutheran Church
Participates in

Paul Kruse from First Step Back Home (a local ministry to help homeless people get back on their feet) has a Survival Food Box program. In an effort to support the First Step Back Home Ministry, we are asking small groups and individuals to put together Survival Food Boxes.

Listed below are the items to place in each box.
We ask that you not include loaves of bread.
Please place your completed boxes in the Gathering Space outside of the sanctuary (there will be a sign and additional Survival Food Box lists).
Everyone at LLLC is invited to participate.

For further information visit the First Step Back Home website

Paul Kruse recently told us that he could use 20 food boxes a week. Plus, the ministry is always in need of gas cards and phone cards..

Questions? Call Katarina Beattie 636-561-7889 or Julia Collins

Lana Kruse, Paul Kruse’s wife

OR
BACKPACKS

"Thanks to you and all your group for helping us with these backpacks. We generally need more men's than women's. The list isn't exhaustive... general ideas for you. It's certainly ok to expand on the list. Used old school backpacks are ok to use if you like. I think I saw some school packs on sale at Walmart last weekend for ~$5"
