Share your blessings: Sponsor A Family!

Would you like to make a direct difference in the life of a family this holiday season? Become a sponsor through Sponsor A Family, a joint program of Lutheran Social Service and Catholic Charities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. As a sponsor, you shop for gifts personally requested by a family who is receiving services through our case managers.

You can also give the gift of a holiday meal to a family. For every $15 dollars you contribute, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will match $5! Just $50 could buy a holiday meal for a family.

In Rochester, the Adopt A Family holiday gift program is registering sponsors to provide gifts and hope to families in Olmsted County. Please call Jan Vetter at 507-285-8939 for more information.

Visit www.sponsorafamily.org or call 1.866.620.2236 in Minneapolis or 1.800.285.3014 in St. Paul to share your blessings and bring joy to another family this holiday season.
