Greetings!

I am a board member with the Lebanon Matthew 25.40 Ministries (LMM). I am reaching out to ask for an in-kind or monetary donation for an upcoming charity event. LMM is an IRS approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. LMM was established by the Lebanon Area Ministerial Council of Churches for the purpose of serving those in need in the communities of Lebanon and Summerfield, IL. In responding to Christ's teachings, LMM makes resources available through the food pantry as well as provides financial assistance, employment assistance, referrals to handle day-to-day or emergency situations while educating and strengthening the individual's capacity for self-reliance through the Community Care Coalition. 

The LMM is financially supported by several local churches, businesses, and private individuals and is the umbrella organization for the Lebanon Food Pantry and Community Care Coalition, which have served the communities of Lebanon and Summerfield, IL, for over 20 years.

As of today, we have helped over 600 households and 1,500 individuals with food shortage needs. Our Community Care Coalition (CCC) has also provided thousands of dollars for utility and housing assistance for our communities during uncertain times.

We are hosting a Cards for the Community event on November 11th, 2023. The event will include a euchre tournament, silent auction, raffle, etc. We are looking for in-kind donations to raffle off or add to our silent auction. We are expecting to have over 100 participants and are looking to raise a few thousand dollars.

Your donation will help us to be able to build up our financial resources to continue to provide our services to the community.
