LCC received a thank you note from Emily Petway, Founder and Executive Director of GiveNKind, Mundelein, Illinois:

Thank you so much for allowing Bob to take the truck today to pick up the pallet racking for our warehouse. This was an amazing gift that allows us to receive new racks so that we can take in more donated goods, organize them better, and make them available to nonprofits in need. I am grateful to you and to the powerhouse that is Bob! Here is a photo of Bob and another great volunteer, Filippo, after we unloaded this morning!
 
Thank you!

LCC received a thank you note from Sally Hover, Immanuel Bartlett, Illinois (LCC’s ministry partner).

Thank you so much for everything you do to get food into the right hands. I thought I would share with you the extension of your ministry that perhaps isn't seen behind the scenes.
 
My parents are here with me from Southern District, Immanuel Lutheran, Bossier City, Louisiana. They are in their late 80s and sometimes wonder what God still has intended for them while so much has been taken away; vision, hearing, movement, and sometimes memory, etc. Mom rode with me to help pick up the boxes. She loves getting out for almost any reason. When we arrived home, both mom and dad helped package the banana muffins into individual Ziploc bags for distribution. This gave them a feeling of being useful and doing something for others.
 
This morning we got up early and delivered them and the soup and other items to the Vineyard, where many homeless would have a chance to enjoy the bounty. Some non-perishables were saved back for February 2, which is the next day we will be providing breakfast and lunch for another 50 people.
 
The trays will certainly be used. I will be happy to come to pick up the other case from your location if you would prefer, or of course, you are welcome at my home.
 
Thank you so very much,
Sally Hover

Lutheran Church Charities received a note of thanks from Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) Mid-South District for the financial support LCC provided to help those affected by the tornadoes in East Tennessee.
Please accept our gratitude for your gift to help those affected by the tornadoes in East Tennessee.

Sadly, several lives were lost and hundreds of structures damaged. While the LCMS congregations escaped with only minor damage, members and workers suffered significant destruction. Damage assessment is ongoing and reports are continuing to come in. Plans are currently underway to prepare for long-term recovery efforts.

Thank you for the witness you have made. With contributions such as yours, we will be able to help our hurting communities with emergency food, clothing, shelter and other basic necessities. We appreciate your reaching out at a critical time of need with special assistance and concern. Your generosity will impact positively so many lives that have been disrupted and will certainly be a blessing to them.

May God richly bless you for being a part of this important effort.

Please keep our brothers and sisters in your prayers as they prepare to rebuild following this tragedy.

In Christ,

Angela Fowler
Executive Director for Business and Finance
The Mid-South District of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

LCC received a lovely note from a family who was a recipient of an LCC Heart of Mercy & Compassion.

My mom died late last month and, subsequently, our family received a lovely plaque with notes from people involved in various ministries at Holy Cross (Collinsville, Illinois). This was such a kind gesture.
 
It really did mean a lot to my siblings, my dad and me that Holy Cross members would reach out to us and to Good Shepherd. I know my mom had a strong connection with the Comfort Dog Ministry and enjoyed following LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Esther (Holy Cross – Collinsville, Illinois) service to the community as chronicled on Facebook.
 
Again, thanks to you all for reaching out to our family as Brothers and Sisters in Christ at a really tough time in our lives.

Kathy O’Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response received the following notecard on February 11 from a resident in Wilmington, North Carolina, who received assistance from the LCC LERT teams responding to Hurricane Florence last year:

Friends,

Last September Florence came to visit us and stayed five days. What to do? What to do when you are advanced in years and not able to clean up and haul to the curb side of the street for pick up by the city. The Lord does provide.

Picture
Ms. O’Day and the wonderful men on the Disaster Response team came to the house and were just wonderful in how they worked so hard and transformed it all beautifully. Ms. O’Day gave me the lovely quilt from the ladies in the church and I am so pleased from the moment she handed it to me. Larry [Zagorski] told me the ladies “sew and pray.” I can picture that in my mind. It makes for a nice picture, too – the ladies sewing and praying.

I want to thank the ladies and to again thank Larry and each one on the team. You did a splendid job. They came here through my niece’s church, Messiah Lutheran Church in Wilmington, North Carolina. May God bless you always!

Trinity Lutheran Church – Taylorville, Illinois
LCC received the following thank you from Rev. Rodney Blomquist of Trinity Lutheran Church in Taylorville, Illinois:

Dear Brothers and Sisters at Lutheran Church Charites and LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministries,

God bless you for all the work and comfort that you brought to Taylorville. Throughout this past week, people have come up to me and even called out to me from across the room, “Tell those Lutherans, Thank you. They did a fine job.” At our ministerial meeting Wednesday the director of CEFS said, “We can call the Lutherans if there is any need for more help.”

The children and the adults enjoyed the dogs. You may even get a few more volunteers to help with this ministry in years to come.

Thank you again and God bless you a hundred fold for your time and service in His Name.

Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Rodney Blomquist
Trinity Lutheran Church in Taylorville &
The whole community of Taylorville

The following email was received from Unity Lutheran Christian Elementary School in East St. Louis, Illinois, on Monday, November 26:
 
Thanks LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Esther (Holy Cross – Collinsville, Illinois) and Carol for visiting Unity today. The kids had a great time. They liked learning that Esther Comfort Dog goes to church every Sunday and to school every weekday. I was also very happy that the fourth graders looked up her Bible verse.



Thank you again for a great morning.
 
Mary
