Our programs are designed to advance our mission of providing stability, support, and opportunity to individuals and families throughout the Indianapolis area. From housing assistance at Pando to combating food insecurity through The Sharing Place, every program is rooted in LCFS's belief that everyone deserves access to the resources, dignity, and support needed to thrive.

We need volunteers for many of our programs, especially Sharing Place and SEED. As Christmas approaches, we will also need help with our Christmas Store and Lutherwood Christmas. We even work with larger groups for outdoors campus beautification projects.

Pando Tenant
"For the past year this has been the happiest I’ve been in 25 years. I feel like I have been able to find myself again and turn my life around. I do not believe it would be possible without Pando."

Neighbor of The Sharing Place
"The Sharing Place has not only helped me, but my family as well. I have a large family and sometimes I have no means to balance bills and living expenses including groceries. Thank you for all you help, and may God continue to bless those who bless the less fortunate."
