Lutheran World Relief

Founded by Lutherans in the United States at the end of World War II, grounded in Lutheran theology and building on decades of experience, Lutheran World Relief (LWR) tackles global poverty by helping people adapt to the challenges that threaten their livelihoods and well-being. LWR works with people based on need, regardless of race, religion or nationality and we do not evangelize.

Our Savior’s is privileged to play a small part in LWR’s mission of “Affirming God’s love for all people…to end poverty, injustice and human suffering.”
