Outreach at Hope Lutheran Church
We share God’s love by living in a way in which the needs of others take precedence over our own needs.
The members and friends of Hope practice love by taking care of each other and by supporting numerous social ministries with our time, energy, and financial resources. Hope’s most recent outreach efforts are highlighted below.
Blessed to Bless Others with Food Assistance
Hope’s unit of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League collected food donations for the food pantry at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Mayfield Heights. The food pantry provides food assistance to individuals and families in emergency situations or with ongoing needs. The members and friends of Hope are blessed to share their blessings with others.
Soap Donations for Neighbors
Thank you to the many members and friends who generously shared God’s gifts by donating 159 bars of soap, 30 bottles of shower wash, and 47 bottles of hand soap for the Center of Hope in Ravenna and Redeemer Crisis Center in Cleveland. The combined donations from Hope’s preschool as well as through a Thrivent Financial grant will be delivered to both food banks that provide necessary toiletries for those in need in our communities.
Thanksgiving Meal Bags Help Our Community
Many thanks to all who generously increased donations for the growing need of the Thanksgiving Meal Bag packing event this year. Hope’s members, friends and preschool provided enough food to feed 143 people here in Aurora for the holiday. 35 bags of non-perishable food items were assembled by the children of the church and received a special blessing at the end of worship. Each bag was also supplied with a frozen turkey and pumpkin pie before being taken to the Volunteers of America to be distributed to local families.
