Day of Service at Lutheran Settlement House
When: Friday, April 24

More than 150 volunteers from ARAMARK, City-Year Care Force and the Federation of Neighborhood Center staff dedicated their time, energy and talents to enhance the facilities at the Lutheran Settlement House. Volunteers worked on creating two donations rooms, sorted out donations, reburfished and landscaped outdoor garden areas by building vegetable beds, picnic tables, and mural benches. In addition, they painted inspirational murals, hosted a children’s book drive, and built bookshelves for newly donated children’s books.
The day of service is part of ARAMARK’s ongoing partnership with the Federation of Neighborhood Centers (formerly called the Greater Philadelphia Federation of Settlements), whose 15 member community centers support 45 Philadelphia neighborhoods. The partnership, which was launched in 2008, is part of ARAMARK Building Community, a company-wide initiative that fosters long-term support for local community centers in more than 25 cities.

Lutheran Settlement house would like to say thank you to all of you for making our building a better and welcoming place for our clients!

Bike for a good cause! You’ll ride along the roads of Montgomery County as you navigate from steeple to steeple. Some of these country churches date back to 1743. A mix of shade and sun, hills and flats, and beautiful scenery will offer something for all riders.

The Lutheran Charities Bike Ride is a great way to support the social service agencies of our Synod which help more than 35,000 children and adults each year who are disabled, abused, hungry, and homeless. We encourage you to join this event as an individual biker, a participant in a group of bikers, a walker, a sponsor or as a volunteer.

They are: Lutheran Settlement House, KenCrest Centers, Artman Lutheran Home, Lutheran Children & Family Service, Manatawny Manor, The Mary J. Drexel Home, Paul's Run Retirement Community, Silver Springs - Martin Luther School
