Volunteers help distribute free fruit and vegetables to hungry people. Every Wednesday from 10:15 AM-noon, our group of volunteers help with unloading the Food Bank truck, sorting fresh fruits and vegetables and distributing the food to approximately 125 families in need. Come by youself and join our group of volunteers or bring a small group to volunteer. This could be a great summer youth opportunity.

Mission Statement
"Sharing God''s blessings by helping others in need." is the mission of Lutheran Community Services. Many of those in our community are living in poverty -- 25% of the population of Wilmington and 12% of thepopulation of New Castle County. We believe that each of us is responsible to help our less fortunate neighbors as much as we can. When it was founded in 1959, its original focus was on the independent living needs of seniors. Today, LCS provides a much broader range of emergency services and continues to develop new programs based on the needs of the communities it serves.
Description
HOUSING. LCS provides emergency loans and grants to low income people who are behind in their rent or mortgage or who need money for a security deposit. In 2006, we made 186 loans helping to house over 500 people.
