Thanks to the dedicated volunteers of the West Lucas County Chapter and East Lucas County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans our LSS Centennial Celebration year has appreciated supplemental support that made possible the printing of a 100th Anniversary Edition of the LSS of NW Ohio History booklet and a very successful concert series throughout 2011. The Toledo Emergency “Choice” Food Pantry has received much needed assistance from the Thrivent Foundation. Recently the Four Agency Golf Outing was assisted by several Chapters of Thrivent throughout northwest Ohio. The volunteer and fraternal benefits of Thrivent have provided much needed support as LSS has worked hard to provide help and assistance to people throughout northwest Ohio.
