Winter 2026 Message from the President

Warm New Year greetings from all of us at LCW! I hope by now you have all received your 2025 End of Year reports and giving statements and are celebrating the tremendous success with us. We were so blessed by each of your investments into this ministry, and those partnerships translated into impact for children and families in need. Thank you for joining us in Lending a Helping Hand and trusting us with your financial support.

2026 is off to a strong start as the holistic HELPS programs continue to work to change lives. We pride ourselves on the comprehensive approach we take to alleviating poverty. The individualized support of sponsorship is only one facet of the overall ministry contributing to the success of our children and families. Every tenant of the HELPS model is vital to ensuring our services are truly impactful.

Supporting HELPS Ministry Needs makes the holistic nature of our program possible. Whether you decide to join the Helping Hands Club through recurring support or you feel called to make a one-time contribution, know that you are supporting your sponsored child’s success by giving LCW the ability to provide services far beyond the value of the $35/month sponsorship. Your partnership for HELPS Ministry Needs is a legacy that reaches far beyond one child or family. Consider how you can leave a legacy for today and for tomorrow with LCW.

Let’s set the tone for our 39th year, 2026, remembering Philippians 1:6, “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” God entrusted us with a lofty mission and continues to provide through each of you to make it possible. For nearly 40 years, we have been committed to making your contributions stretch as far as possible to change more lives, and we are resolute in our efforts to continue doing so. Thank you for your part in making this possible.

With humble gratitude,
Brittany Foster
