Your loving gift will reach families in crisis around the world
You'll shield God's children who are suffering
from cold, hunger and violence.
You aren’t imagining it.
This page is gray. It’s our small way of marking a year of suffering caused by the war in Ukraine. For families who have lost so much, it can feel like the color has drained from the world. You are a beacon of hope and a reminder God’s love is with them.
Since 1945
Lutheran World Relief saves and improves lives in the poorest parts of the world.
We will persist until your love reaches every neighbor.
