Shepherd of the Valley supports a number of ministry programs each year through our budgeted benevolence program. These partners are working to further a mission and values that align with our church's.

 

We've been sharing the feedback we've recently received from a few of these amazing partners.

   

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) World Hunger Program 

 

Dear Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church,  

    

Thank you for your gift to ELCA World Hunger. Your faithful generosity makes a life-changing difference for people in need around the corner and around the world. Your gift is greatly appreciated.   

 

The vision of World Hunger is to end hunger in our world one community at a time and one program at a time. In Uganda, a widow sends her five children to school thanks to your support and the expertise of our local partner, who helped her learn to increase her income by raising goats. In Nepal, our trusted partner helps farmers get started with beekeeping so that they can supplement their income. And in Missouri, volunteers staff a well-designed food pantry, serving neighbors with respect, dignity and efficiency.

As the ELCA, we do more together than any one of us could ever do alone. WE are a church that believes God is calling us into the world -- together. Thank you for your support.
