Ingathering

Lutheran World Relief Ingathering

Once again Women of the ELCA (WELCA) of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod are holding an Ingathering in conjunction with the Annual Synod Assembly.

Each year we have collected 100’s of quilts and kits during Synod Assembly for Lutheran World Relief. Congregations are once again invited and encouraged to bring quilts and kits (personal care, baby care, school and fabric kits). Please review the instructions for assembling and packaging LWR quilts and kits, which can be found at the links below. Kits are easy to assemble and even one can make a difference!

Items may be dropped off on Saturday, May 30 between 8 am and 10 am in Social Hall.  If you cannot make the drop off time, please reach out to Carrie Schwab, , to make other arrangements.

Those dropping off items may pre-register what they are bringing at this link, otherwise bring this form
