Due to COVID-19, LCFS has had to postpone a number of events; additionally, we are re-imagining other events to ensure that our staff, volunteers, and donors can all remain as safe as possible during this unprecedented time.
Upcoming Events:
-

Tecumseh's Trail Challenge
Sven is once again hitting the trail! While past challenge walks have been in Europe, this year he is staying a little closer to home and walking Tecumseh's Trail through Southern Indiana in September, October, and November 2020.
This year, Sven would like to dedicate his walk to Christel DeHaan, who passed away earlier this year. Christel was a strong supporter of Sven's challenge walks which raise funds to support the Sharing Place Food Pantry.

On 9/18/20 LCFS had our first ever "virtual" event - "Celebrating LCFS Volunteers!"
Due to COVID-19 safety precautions LCFS opted to honor our volunteers through a virtual event rather than our traditional volunteer luncheon. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Sharing Place Food Pantry. Special thanks to our event sponsors: Servants of Christ Lutheran Church, Bose McKinney & Evans, and Anthem.
Learn about the event on our special "Celebrating LCFS Volunteers" webpage https://www.lutheranfamily.org/celebrating-lcfs-volunteers/celebrating-lcfs-volunteers.html
