Our Elves at Lutheran Haven are preparing your Christmas Seals!
Each year, the Lutheran Haven Foundation hosts Christmas Seal Stuffing Day to help get this beautiful mailing to you! This is our 79th annual Christmas Seal outreach and 37 of our wonderful residents spent hours stuffing thousands of envelopes!
As you know, our Christmas Seal campaign is our largest outreach for the year and we hope you will prayerfully consider how you might support the mission and ministry of Lutheran Haven: To provide a quality, Christ-centered haven of care for older adults.
Our Benevolnt Care Fund is critical in assisting retired Lutheran pastors, rostered church workers, retired Lutherans and others in need of our healthcare services. We also assist with things like Advanced Fees and Monthly Maintenance Fees along with assisting residents with emergency needs such as temporary healthcare assistance or even meals. It is only through the generosity of people like you who support the Haven that we can continue to come alongside these faithful servants.
Chances are that you know first-hand how Lutheran Haven’s mission has touched someone’s life. By supporting our Christmas Seals outreach, you become a vital part of Lutheran Haven’s mission! Your prayers and gifts are crucial to someone greatly in need who cannot help themselves in their elder years.
Our residents are AMAZING as you can see! The recipients of benevolent care funding are kept private; however, our residents know your support goes directly to help their friends and neighbors in need. That’s why we always have such an enthusiastic response when it comes to our annual stuffing day! This is a big job, and they got it done in record time!
We are so thankful for our incredible residents and 2 very special Christmas Elves who kept this operation running smoothly, Jennifer Bonczyk, our Community Liaison and resident, Karen Hill! We also thank Vince Farina, our Health & Wellness Coordinator who led us in a short exercise break, along with our own Chef Eddy who prepared a wonderful lunch as a thank you to our volunteers. Our maintenance guys were also a huge blessing for moving a ton of boxes! What a team!
By assembling this cavalcade of flying paper and busy hands, all the hard work by our amazing volunteers saves the Haven a great deal of money on production costs. Now, you know when you receive this lovely appeal for help, it came to you through the love of one neighbor to another at Lutheran Haven!
