Lutheran Church in the Foothills is working to help victims of domestic violence and the homeless.
LCIF has earmarked money from its endowment fund to support Beacon Housing and Door of Hope, which provides transitional housing for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. LCIF will also support LA Family Housing and San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, which provide services to help people transition out of homelessness. The church invites people affiliated with the housing agencies to attend worship on Sunday, May 1, when each agency will be presented with a check for $2,000.
That same day, the church will hold a congregational meeting following its 10 a.m. worship service. A Zoom link will be provided on LCIF’s website for those unable to attend in person.
The church would also like to thank the community for its generosity in supporting victims of the war in Ukraine. LCIF’s drive to collect new clothing and baby supplies was a “heartwarming success, thanks to the people of the foothill communities.” All of the items that were donated were displayed on the Easter service alter and blessed. LCIF has partnered with St. Andrews Orthodox Ukrainian Church in Elysian Park to get the items where they are needed.
LCIF welcomes all to attend its worship services led by Pastor Chuck Bunnell. They are held in-person on Sundays at 10 a.m. The church continues to livestream the services on its YouTube channel, and they can be viewed at any time on LCIF’s website.
