Lutheran Community Care

A community hub for people to turn to in times of need was a common suggestion raised at a workshop initiated by Lutheran Community Care in the Barossa last month.

Lutheran Community Care’s Kwatja Etatha Playgroup in Alice Springs will begin operating again this month after a successful fundraising appeal.

The boards of Lutheran Community Care (LCC) and Lutheran Disability Services (LDS) are exploring ways for the two organisations to work more closely together.

Lutheran Community Care held an official opening for its new op shop at Valley View on April 9, which attracted a crowd of more than 100 people. 

An appeal has been launched to help Lutheran Community Care restore its Kwatja Etatha playgroup in Alice Springs, which was recently stripped of its funding by the Federal Government.

Lutheran Community Care is coordinating a new project that is working closely with LCA congregations to build a culture of welcome for new arrivals from refugee backgrounds.

Eighty members of the Longriders Christian Motorcycle Club took part in the Winter Blues Blanket Run in July, to support the work that Lutheran Community Care does with emergency relief and homelessness.
