Activating the
joyful energy
of volunteers
The volunteer spirit is alive at LCSNW. It’s embodied by people like Joy, who has a heart for refugees in the Vancouver area. She collects and refurbishes items to help newcomers set up households. “It’s a great honor to see them grow into self-sufficiency.” Read Joy’s story and learn how to volunteer.
Celebrating
our uniquely
gifted employees
It never ceases to inspire us when LCSNW employees share their stories. Watch our CEO’s interview with Lori, for example. You’ll learn how she helps stabilize vulnerable people in the North Puget Sound in her work time and does the same for vulnerable parrots in her spare time.
Hosting guests
so they can come
in from the cold
Temperatures are dropping, and the severe weather shelter that LCSNW is hosting in Bellingham, Washington, is open on nights of 32 degrees or less. We can’t think of a better purpose for a former Lutheran church. You can take a video tour and read more about how we got involved in this project.
