Abiding Presence financially supports Lutheran World Relief, Lutheran Social Services, and the United Lutheran Appeal.

For several years, the Women of the ELCA have raised money through a program called Change to Change the World to benefit Lutheran World Relief projects. This program is also designed to advocate for the empowerment of women in emerging nations and war-ravaged areas of the world.

We also support the Lutheran World Relief Fair Trade Coffee Project who ensures more of the money spent on coffee reaches the farmers who actually grow it.
