Lutheran World Relief School Supplies Needed
Thank you for your generous donations of supplies and funds! Our goal is to stuff 300 bags with supplies. For all you Amazon shoppers here is the wish list to have your purchases shipped directly to the church! When choosing a shipping address, click on "Lucy Kay Osborne's Wish List". The supply list is on the collection table in the narthex. LWR requests specific supplies, no substitutes.
For over 100 years, COMPASS HOUSING ALLIANCE has been meeting the needs of our community across the Puget Sound region by providing 24-hour enhanced emergency shelter programs for those experiencing homelessness and housing instability.

Stitch by Stitch - God's Love, Our Hands
Do you knit or crochet? First Lutheran has a large supply of yarn which you can turn into knitted or crocheted items that can help others. The yarn is available in Room 104 (downstairs, off Fellowship Hall). Stop in anytime to pick up yarn and get started on a project. Return finished items to the drop box in Room 104. Your knitted and crocheted items will be taken to places such as Compass Center, Eastside Baby Corner, Mary’s Place, nursing homes, animal shelters, and the Multiservice Center. You could also knit for our prayer shawl ministry.
Needed items include:
Warm hats for men, women, and children
Warm scarves for men, women, and children
Sweaters for infants and children to size 14
Twin bed size afghans
Infant blankets
Prayer shawls
Kitty blankets for the Seattle Humane Society (about 2 x 2 feet)
We also have a large amount of cotton yarn suitable for dishcloths, potholders, or other projects.
