Faithful Promises
Faithful promises are at the heart of our impact.
In uncertain times, thousands of Missouri children and families in need turn to Lutheran Family and Children’s Services for strength and hope. Throughout the pandemic crisis, the calls for our support have become more urgent, and how we respond matters greatly.
Our motto “One Promise. One Family.” has never meant more than it does now. Our team has remained faithful to their promise to serve and protect at-risk children and families even while the future seems uncertain.
Our promises need your support.
The total impact from the current health crisis is yet to be determined. Lutheran Family and Children’s Services is preparing for the months ahead, and as the circumstances continue to develop, we are anticipating an increasing need for our services and a funding gap which could prevent us from meeting those needs.
Please make a gift to support our promises so we can continue to help children and families in this critical time. Together we can impact the lives of those most in need and offer a light of hope to all in our LFCS family.
