As we close out another year, we are filled with gratitude for every act of kindness that has strengthened our mission at Lutheran Social Services of Northwest Ohio. It is because of supporters like you, thousands of individuals and families found hope, healing, and stability when they needed it most.

This year, your generosity helped us:

💙 Provide food and emergency assistance to families facing unexpected hardships
💙 Offer counseling and mental health support to those navigating life’s challenges
💙 Walk alongside individuals working toward self-sufficiency and renewed purpose

But our work doesn’t end here...As the year comes to a close, you can make an immediate and meaningful impact. A year-end gift ensures we can continue serving with compassion and meeting the growing needs of our community.

Everyone do your best to stay warm in Northwest Ohio this Friday!!! ☃️❄️🥶🧥

Brrrrr....If your winter coat isn't keeping you warm right now, you may want to invest in something different before Friday morning. Lows in the lower single digits are possible with a near record low. The wind chill is expected to drop below 0 for the first time this season.
