LCFS Advocates - Opportunities to Serve Financial support of Lutheran Counseling and Family Services of Wisconsin comes from thrift store receipts, church donations, individual donations, insurance payments, and grants from foundations or corporations. Although LCFS is a recognized social ministry organization of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, we receive no funding from the Synod or District Offices. Therefore we rely on the support of individuals just like you. The following is a listing of some of the many ways that you can help support the programs offered by LCFS. Volunteer at one of the Thrift Stores. Volunteer  at the Visions of Chocolate Annual Event. Host a fundraiser at your school, church, or other meeting place. Such as a fish fry, dance-a-thon, bowling marathon, family walk/run, craft fair, bake sale, etc... If a staff person of LCFS is available at the time of your event, we will attend to answer any questions and show our support for your organization. Volunteer to assist with painting and general yard work. Do you have the skills as a carpenter or electrician and be willing to help as needed? Our volunteers are very special people and are appreciated by the Board of Directors and staff of LCFS. Please consider helping. For more information on volunteering please call 800-291-4513
