Congregational Support

Capital Appeals

Don’t pass up the opportunity you have to make a powerful impact by including mission support as part of your capital campaign. Many congregations around the state are setting a wonderful example for their members about the importance of stewardship.

Congregational Foundation or Endowment

Congregations with foundations or endowments have the chance to direct some of those resources to LSS services. Please let us know what information we can provide or if you wish to invite a formal proposal from LSS, at congregations@lssmn.org.

Special Offerings

Consider dedicating one Sunday during the year to lift up your congregation’s support for LSS services throughout the state. Use all or a portion of the day’s offering to supplement your congregation's budgeted support of LSS.

In-Kind Donations

LSS services are always in need of donated items that support their work and help the people they serve.
