In-kind donations provide valuable resources for LCFS. We accept in-kind donations of food, hygiene items, and other program needs. We publish “wish lists” for needed items periodically. Items on the Residential program/Lutherwood wish list can be dropped off during normal business hours at the LCFS main campus, located at 1525 N Ritter Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46129.

Donations to The Sharing Place can be made at 6501 Sunnyside Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46236 during hours of operation.

If you are interested in donating items for our residential clients not listed on the Wish List, please contact us first at develop@lutheranfamily.org. Due to safety precautions, we are unable to accept items that are not permitted in our residential programs due to licensing or programming restrictions.
