Thank you from Ministry Partners

Shepherd of the Valley supports several ministry partners with gifts, as part of our regular benevolence giving. Each week in this new year we will highlight a year-end thank-you we have received from one of our partners:

  

From Lutheran Social Services: 

On behalf of LSS Community Care Center, I'd like to thank you for your generous donation. We serve an average of 3,000 individuals each month. Your donation will help us continue to feed, clothe, and assist our families, children, and individuals. ... Support programs include: a mobile health clinic, urban gardens, computer and financial literacy, ESL classes, and emergency food and clothing services for very low income, poverty level and homeless individuals and families.

 

Thank you again for your generosity and your continued support of LSS.

 

Fiona Kilner
Area Director, San Fernando Valley
