The First Lutheran Foundation Fund Committee is excited to share with you some news of how we are reaching out to help people in our community. Recently, we awarded grants to several worthy organizations, including Causeway Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater La Crosse, Holmen Area Community Center, Coulee Region Hunger Walk, Lutheran World Relief, Sugar Creek Camp Counselors, along with our very own Prayer Shawl Knitters, First Teen Clothes Closet and First Helping Hands Fund, We also are supplementing painting the “house”, owned and used by First Lutheran. In May, we awarded scholarships to five deserving high school seniors who are members of our church.

Since January 1, 2021, First Teen Clothes Closet (FTCC) has hosted 44 guests and given out more than 628 items (clothes, shoes, toiletries, hair care kits for black teens, and accessories. In January, we reopened by appointment only, and in mid-May, we returned to open shopping on Monday nights.
