Volunteers Needed!
Lutheran Church Charities is partnering with Faith Lutheran Church in Carpentersville to provide a Hospitality House for a family of six that needs short term housing. The father has severe complications from Covid-19 and needs a lung transplant. In order to move forward with the procedure, the family must live within driving distance of the hospital. Faith Lutheran Church wants to invite the family to live in their parsonage so the father can receive medical care.
CLICK HERE to see what work needs to be done so the house will be in a livable condition. The pastor, who is a carpenter, and several other church members have slowly been working on repairs. They have asked if some volunteers from Lutheran Church Charities can help so they can speed up the process. At this time, we know the family needs to move in around the end of March or early April.
Please contact the Site Coordinator if you would like to help.
