Learn + Serve + Give
Expand the reach of your service ministry in partnership with Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS). Learn + Serve + Give events provide your congregation with the opportunity to learn about a societal issue impacting our neighbors, serve through a hands-on project, and give a financial gift to sustain your commitment to our neighbors.
Learn
LSS supports our neighbors in living full and abundant lives. Select a programmatic focus that aligns with your group’s interests. LSS will provide a corresponding presentation and empathy building exercise to enhance learning.
Camp Noah

LSS Youth and Family Services
Help keep youth and children safe and supported by providing early intervention and prevention services, supportive shelters and housing options for youth experiencing homelessness, and services to restore and strengthen families.
LSS Meals
Offers delicious and nutritious meals to older adults to support them in living healthier, more active and independent lives while also meeting the needs of neighbors facing food insecurity, isolation and loneliness.
Serve
Contribute to your community and support your neighbors by selecting a hands-on activity for your group to complete. LSS will provide your group with supply lists, project instructions and information for delivering completed projects.
