On July 27th, LCS played host to a group of middle schoolers and their chaperones from Word of Life Lutheran Church in Southern New Jersey. During a full-day of mission work half of them worked in the garden, while the rest cleaned the choice pantry from top to bottom! During lunch Executive Director Jean Warren spoke with the group about LCS and our work in the community.<br />
<br />
The group stayed at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church during their week in Wilmington and spent Monday the 25th cleaning and stocking the St. Stephen's pantry. We were blessed to have this amazing group with us and hope you'll join us in sending prayers of thanks to the Word of Life mission group!<br />

Joanne lives in one of the old row homes you see everywhere in the City of Wilmington. The stairs from her sidewalk to her entry were treacherous and she'd taken a recent fall when she called <br />

Her income qualified her for a new handrail at no-cost thanks to a grant from National Lutheran Communities and Services. A short time later, we received a card from Joanne in which she says she is "feeling much more confident in coming [home]" and expresses her gratitude to Home Repair Specialists Ray and Charlie.<br />

<b>Current Fundraisers</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
LCS is having a customized brick installation added to our front entry area. Proceeds go to offset the cost of much needed waterproofing in the same area the bricks will be installed. Bricks can be purchased and customized for $150 either online or via mail.<br />
<br />
Our 25th Annual Hunger Walk Run is only a month away! Registration is now open. Our online registration site makes fundraising easier than ever or if you prefer to register on paper, a form can be downloaded here. The event is always a lot of fun as evidenced by the video below. We hope you'll consider joining us at Rockford Park on September 17th!<br />

Community Garden Harvest</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
LCS staff have completed the first harvest of the season. Our community garden yielded over 45 pounds of onions, 8.25 pounds of collard greens, 6.6 pounds of green beans, and 5.5 pounds of herbs, which were subsequently distributed at the pantry at <a href="http://www.hanoverchurch.org.php53-5.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/what-we-do/" style="color: #3452f2; text-decoration: none;">Hanover Presbyterian Church</a> and our own Choice Pantry. More vegetables continue to grow and we look forward to future harvests, including tomatoes and chard. </div>

Smoking Cessation Program Participant Excited for Future</div>
Assistant Program Director, Kathy Swanson spoke with John, a longtime Lutheran who had been smoking three packs a day. He was excited about how much money <a href="http://lcsde.org/andmoreServices.htm#smoking" style="color: #3452f2; text-decoration: none;">quitting</a> was going to save him. When Kathy asked him what he was going to do with the extra, he immediately answered, "Pay my bills!"

Luz arrived at the LCS offices looking for a church she was staying with
her son after moving from Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, her living
situation was not what she had hoped and she needed help collecting
paperwork and finding a place to live. Assistant Program Director Jean
Washington drove her to the Social Security office and the Wilmington
Housing Authority before bringing her back to the office to get some
groceries. When Luz came the following week for more food, it was with
good news; she had picked up her Social Security card, learned how to
navigate the bus system and, best of all, had found an affordable
apartment!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It gives serving size, and nutritional content. This is not an endorsement for any brands or grocery chains, but I thought it was just a nice simple blog for a quickie look-up of many food items if you are interested in nutritional content.<br />

Boulevard in Wilmington. With spring in the air, volunteers have turned to the
garden with big plans. Last year, the garden raised over 200 lbs. of produce.
This year, we can expect at least twice that much since the garden size is
being <span style="font-size: 8.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
doubled, with most of the energy coming from volunteers. The produce
yield will be divided between LCS for its choice pantry, and Hanover
Presbyterian, which helped to secure last year’s start-up grant from the Speer
Trust of the New Castle Presbytery. Lead volunteer in this effort is Spencer
Hoernes, a student at the University of Delaware’s Ag School. In addition to
doubling the garden’s size, Spencer is working hard to make it handicapped
accessible. We’ve have also been approached by an Eagle Scout who is exploring
the possibility of building steps to the garden which is about 8 feet higher
than the parking lot it overlooks.<br />

Supply problems have made it difficult for LCS and its food
distribution partners to obtain fresh produce for their regular distributions.
One way regular folks can play a helpful, meaningful role in this is to plant
an extra row or two in their gardens. It doesn’t matter too much what they
plant and bring to the pantry, as long as it is fresh and ready to be
distributed to hungry low income people when it arrives. Gardeners can bring
produce to LCS headquarters, or if they are closer to another of our pantry or
distribution sites, they can bring it there.<o:p></o:p></div>

About 98% of the clients for our senior home repair program
are women, and the majority of them are widows. So it was great to get a $1000
donation for the program from a woman who has a special place in her heart for
those in need of a home repair – a broken window, a new lock, grab bars, or whatever we can do to
make them feel safe and secure in their homes..<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Food comes to us for the Choice Pantry at this time from two sources,The Food Bank of Delaware and private donations/food drives. Our shelves are growing thin as awareness of our pantry is growing in the community.<br />
<br />

Any size big or small is welcome, every bit helps. Or perhaps you have a gift in recruiting others to also hold food drives! The nice thing about food drives is you can make it as simple or as creative as you like.<br />
<br />
We have developed an LCS Food Drive Kit which has information for students who are trying to earn their high school credit in volunteer hours. It also explains some of the do's and don'ts even touches on how to use social media when having a food drive.<br />
<br />
If you would be interested in holding a food drive, click on the image below to open up a PDF file of our food drive kit that you can down load or print off. Contact me, Cher Frampton at 302-654-8886 x 107 or cframpton@lcsde.org with questions and a list of currently needed food items. <br />

pleasant professionalism and awesome plumbing skills.” What an endorsement!

The number of people on food stamps in Delaware has dropped slightly over the last few years, but there are still people so hungry that they start eating out of their donation bag even before leaving a food pantry in Wilmington.</div>

is the proud recipient of many food drives throughout the year, but right now we
are asking people participate in our <b>2015
Holiday Food Drive</b> which will stock our new “choice” pantry at our
headquarters at 2809 Baynard Boulevard. It’s virtually complete, and the empty
shelves are ready to be filled. There are two main ways you can participate.
First, by giving. We need all manner of nonperishables but especially
appreciate things like tuna, canned meats, peanut butter and cereal. Another
way to participate in a food drive is by having one yourself! It’s not for
everyone, but some of us have a special gift for organizing and collecting for
hungry people, especially during the holidays. We can help you get started. LCS
will begin collecting for its Holiday Food Drive on December 4. We are open
from 8 to 4. It’s best to call ahead. If you need to deliver at another time,
we can make an appointment.<o:p></o:p></div>

came to us after her son was born. She
had to take some time off work, but did not get paid for it. Trying to catch up
on the bills was a challenge, and she fell behind in her rent. Then she heard
about LCS. To make a long story short, Sabrina was able to leave LCS with not
only rental assistance but also coats for her newborn and kindergartener and
toys for both that she can wrap up for Christmas. Next week, Sabrina will
be starting a better paying job, and is thankful for all her gifts.
The coats were provided by St. Marks and Grace of God Lutheran Churches.
The toys were provided by Jane Ramsey and David Amos. And the financial assistance
was provided by you – our wonderful donors.<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<o:p>Our core services here at LCS are food and homelessness prevention assistance for low income people. But many times interested folks want to know what steps we are taking to help people in need so that they won't need to come and see us again. For homelessness prevention clients (those we help with back rent, mortgage, security deposits, or utilities), we do this by providing referrals to <strong>Clarifi</strong> for one-on-one financial literacy help before they come to our offices for their first appointment. Clarifi is a nonprofit focused on financial literacy education. Food clients can also attend classroom style financial literacy presentations when they visit LCS's food distributions. This service is offered through <strong>$tand by Me</strong>, which is a state initiative. So far this year, we have made two such presentations, to about 15 people each, and a third is planned. Presentations begin with a discussion of attitudes about money before moving to traditional topics like credit repair and saving.</o:p></div>

With it, we reason, clients can fuel their bodies so they can do well in school, at home, or on the job. We provide nutrition education literature at all food sites and classes at selected food sites. This year we have held three nutrition classes (at Shiloh Baptist and St. Stephen's and Hope Lutheran) with the <strong>UD Cooperative Extension</strong> program. Each program attracted 30 participants who are interested in nutrition for their families. Topics include helpful information like shopping on a budget or making cost-effective nutritional dishes.</o:p></div>

LCS planted a community pantry garden at its new site at 2809 Baynard Boulevard in Wilmington as a result of a grant from the <strong>Speer Trust</strong>. So for this year , we have harvested over 200 pounds of fresh vegetables from the garden that we directed to <strong>Hanover Presbyterian's</strong> food pantry, which is a close and good partner. We have extended our growing season as much as we could, and replanted (lettuce, carrots, and broccoli) in early October with a final harvest set for early November. Tools and supplies for the garden were provided at cost by <strong>Fairfax Hardware</strong>- who we heartily thank. Just as we want to thank Coverdale Farms for all the seedlings! </div>

<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Hunger Walk Run Results<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While funds will continue to trickle in, as of Tuesday,
September 22, 2015, the amount raised at the annual LCS Hunger Walk Run was
$38,538.27. You can expect that number
to continue to rise and reach approximately $40,000, which is $10,000 less than
last year’s $50,000-plus effort. In any event, it was a wonderful day for a
great event, which a lot of people thoroughly enjoyed – while they helped raise
money for the LCS pantry system.</div>

minute post on<span style="font-size: 37.3333px;"><br /></span>Facebook. On September 16 we founded ourselves in the dire

provide the even with great music and entertainment.<br />
