In-kind donations allow LCFS to better serve the children and families in our care by meeting some of their direct needs. We hope you’ll consider partnering with us in our efforts.

  • LCFS Programs & Services

    LCFS defines in-kind gifts as non-cash donations of goods or services. Your in-kind donation will make an impact on the lives of people in Illinois. There are many opportunities to give goods or services directly to LCFS. Please note we are only able to accept NEW items. You can view the current needs here, or if you have questions about in-kind donations contact Associate Director of Annual Giving Leslie Lopez at 708-488-5568 or leslie_lopez@lcfs.org. Thank you.

  • Back-to-School Drive

    Give a child the tools to start the school year off right. For every $25 in gifts made to Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois’ (LCFS) back-to-school drive, a child in our care is provided with a new book bag and school supplies kit. Many of our clients are struggling financially and have difficulty providing these crucial tools for their children’s education. Through a partnership with the “Kits for Kidz” program, LCFS is able to buy the materials at a discounted rate. Make a gift today, and you will ensure that a child’s return to school is a happy, prepared one.

    If you have questions about your back-to-school donation, contact Associate Director of Annual Giving Leslie Lopez at 708-488-5568 or leslie_lopez@lcfs.org. Thank you.
