Outreach Ministries

Opportunities to share God’s love
URGENT NEED FOR CRISIS ASSISTANCE MINISTRY
outreach1Living Saviour has as an ongoing project the collecting of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing for the Crisis Assistance Home Essentials Program. Crisis Assistance Ministry also provides the Emergency Financial Assistance Program, providing aid to people who are in danger of being evicted or losing their utility connection through direct payments to housing and utility companies. Due to the current downturn in the nation’s economy, more people in our community have been forced to turn to Crisis Ministry for this financial assistance, placing a severe strain on available resources and forcing Crisis Ministry to turn away needy families.

Will you prayerfully consider a monetary gift to this valuable ministry? Also, see the tab below for volunteer opportunities.

You can mail your tax-deductible check to 500-A Spratt St., Charlotte NC 28206 or contribute online at www.crisisassistance.org.

  • SHELTER MINISTRY

    Living Saviour participates in the Urban Ministry Center's annual Room In The Inn program to house the homeless Sunday nights December through March. The Shelter team has many opportunities to serve; meals, transportation, laundry and more. Please think about joining us.
  • HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

    They’re all around your house…those items that you have not used in a while but still have value. The ReStore, a fundraising division of Habitat For Humanity, is looking for donations of new and used furniture, appliances, home décor, books, and other sellable items. The profits of the ReStore are used to build Habitat homes in Charlotte.

    To make a donation or to learn more, please call 704-392-4495 or go to www.CharlotteRestore.org
  • LOAVES & FISHES

    Organized effort to donate food and supplies and offer other services to this Charlotte-area food pantry. Did you know?
    • Loaves & Fishes fed nearly 82,000 people in 2008 through a network of 17 volunteer-staffed food pantries and only eight paid staff.
    • Loaves & Fishes does not charge any fees for the food provided. Your donations go directly to feed the hungry.
    • Individuals and families receive a week's worth of nutritious groceries to prepare in their own homes.
    • People are referred to Loaves & Fishes by human service agencies, clergy, medical providers and school counselors who see first hand those who struggle in our community.
    • Loaves & Fishes keeps costs low (83% program and 17% administrative) thanks to community support. The average Loaves & Fishes' client faces an overwhelming amount of financial burden brought on by an emergency situation. Living Saviour continues to be a supporter of Loaves & Fishes through food collections that are regularly delivered to the pantries. Please remember to place canned items in the grocery cart in the fellowship hall. Priority needs are canned meats, soup, canned fruit, peanut butter and 100% fruit juice. No glass please. Thank you for your generous donations!

  • SALVATION ARMY

    Last year, the Salvation Army distributed over 14,000 Christmas stockings to needy children in Charlotte and Living Saviour proudly filled 522 of them. This year we want to top that number. Here's how to help: Pick up a stocking by the entrance to the fellowship hall, completely fill it (no half-full stockings please) and return on or before December 1. Make sure to consult the suggested "shopping lists" for the each age group and gender. There's also a special bonus item this year. The Scarf Ministry is supplying age/gender appropriate scarves for anyone who wants to include a scarf in the stocking. NOTE: the scarf must be rolled up very small to fit in the toe of the stocking so there is room for toys! Last year's goal was reached through the year-long efforts of Wayne Thom and many others. Thanks to them, funds were generated for the core committee to buy items for hundreds of stockings, which the youth group helped to stuff. Plus, the generosity of the pre-school and congregation in filling individual stockings helped to supply hundreds more filled stockings. So fill a stocking and help us make Christmas a little brighter for hundreds of local children. Contact the church office if you have questions.
  • RONALD McDONALD HOUSE

    Each year the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte sponsors a T-shirt fundraiser called "Sport A Shirt, Share A Night". This program is designed to help families with the cost of being out of town while their child is receiving medical treatment. It costs RMH $89 a night for a family and the family is asked to pay $15. However, no family is ever turned away based upon their ability to pay. Living Saviour sells T-shirts to support this program and then unites in support by wearing them on a designated Sunday. Our participation has grown each year since we started. The T-shirt sale is held each Spring.

  • OTHER SERVICE AND OUTREACH

    Living Saviour is a giving community of faith. We routinely respond to ministry needs. Here's a great example of "God's work. Our hands." Recently several members of our Outreach team built a wheelchair ramp for an elderly friend of LSLC. She's currently in rehab, but now will be able to come home to continue her recovery thanks to our very own "good Samaritans". If you are interested in helping with outreach projects, please Contact us. We can always use another team member.
