Kit Ministry
Comforters
Kit Ministry makes personal care kits, school kits, and baby layette kits for distribution by Lutheran World Relief (LWR) to people coping with poverty, disaster, and conflict around the world.
Comforters sew or crochet quilts, lap robes, and prayer shawls to bring comfort to those in need.
Quilts are distributed through Lutheran World Relief, and can be used as warm bedding, simple tents, or floor coverings.
Lap robes and prayer shawls are distributed locally to anyone in need.
Each one reflects God's loving presence in a world rife with suffering.
