Lutheran Social Ministries of New Jersey provides affordable housing, social services and healthcare to more than 1,400 older adults across the state. Most are on limited incomes and some are even homebound. Many rely on the assistance of others-- especially in recent days with rising costs resulting from the pandemic. No one should have to choose between good food and medications. We need your help and assistance. Cherishing our Elders is a program where volunteers and philanthropic support can help LSMNJ provide the older adults in our programs with access to supply-filled food pantries, grocery gift cards, warm clothes and necessities, holiday food bags, room decorations, sun catchers, personal care items, and more. The program also encourages the community to share goodwill through cards, poems, and letters, and share the warmth of friendship with all.
