Lutheran Social Services of Northwestern Ohio

What is Trading Graces?
Trading Graces is a partnership with Lutheran Services of America and eBay that involves listing and selling items online with 100% of the profit going toward the participating agency. It is a win - win situation for LSS of NW Ohio!!

How can I help?
You donate the items to us and we do the rest! This enables you to have a tax deduction and LSS to reap the profits! We are able to list and sell in a manner that gives us 100 % profit and puts our name before the shopping public, as our mission statement is clearly visible with each item listed.

What kind of items?
On e-bay, “almost anything sells!”
BUT, if we don’t have it, we can’t sell it. Examples of items that can be donated include:

Jewelry and accessories
Antiques and collectibles
Coin collections
Books
Vintage clothing and toys
Sports memorabilia
Musical instruments
Bicycles

We are requesting items having at least $50 value. Please give careful consideration to what you might donate to support LSS NWO.

Please contact Ruth Moeller at (419) 243-9178 or rmoeller@lssnwo.org to arrange for pick up of your item(s).

Attention: Internet Surfers!
How many times a week do you use an Internet search engine like Yahoo!, Google, or Ask.com? For many people, the answer is probably “A whole bunch.” What if Lutheran Social Services of Northwestern Ohio earned a penny every time you performed such a search? Now it’s possible.

GoodSearch.com is a new search Web site that donates half of its revenue (about one penny per search) to the charity of the searcher’s choice. You use it just as you would any search engine, and GoodSearch is powered by Yahoo! so you are guaranteed good search results.

To start using GoodSearch, go to www.goodsearch.com. You will see two boxes – the search box and a box that says “Who do you GoodSearch for?” Simply enter in “Lutheran Social Services of Northwestern Ohio” and start searching. A penny for every search may not seem like much... but imagine if 100 people searched twice each day using GoodSearch. Over the course of a year, LSSNWO would make over $730. GoodSearch makes it easy to support your favorite non-profit organization... and all you have to do is something that you already do anyway.
