Feed a refugee family: one month

Lutherans are known for their active role in the lives of refugees. While refugee camps shelter people who have fled their homes due to war and violence, food supplies are critical to helping families stay healthy after a long, dangerous journey to safety.

Many women have a dream to start their own small business, but it's hard to get started. A microloan helps a woman start her business — weaving, baking or running a storefront, for example — to create a steady source of income and help her family escape poverty.

Whether people are looking for refuge from the streets or a little extra help to get by, a warm meal can go a long way. Your gifts help support soup kitchens across the country as they serve up meals to people in need.
