UALC has a parallel ministry at the Lutheran Social Services (LSS) Food Pantries where books and Christian materials are distributed to the shoppers. UALC members have been very generous by donating new or used materials. We now have a specific need for large print Bibles, children’s Bibles, coloring or drawing books, and crayons. Drop off in bins in exchange centers at Lytham Road and Mill Run.
