Did you know that we have a world-class volunteer program that impacts lives all around the world… right here in Marshfield?

The Faith Lutheran Church (FLC) Piece Corps Ministry actively participates in global outreach, partnering with Lutheran World Relief (LWR), one of the many organizations supported by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA), which FLC is a member of.

This vital ministry brings together approximately 30 members from the FLC congregation and the surrounding community members to make quilts, baby kits, and fabric kits for those in need around the world.

These essential items are sent to people experiencing hardship, providing comfort and hope! In 2024 alone this amazing group of volunteers made an incredible impact by making: 658 quilts, 165 baby care kits, 10 fabric kits.

While over 100 quilts were distributed locally to those in need (Hannah House, Orenda Center, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Stoney River, etc.) the majority were sent to Lutheran World Relief to support their global mission of transforming lives and empowering communities in over 20 countries worldwide.

The Piece Corps works throughout the year, gathering supplies such as batting for quilts, and donated fabric, etc. They also depend on the support of Thrivent Choice Dollars (a program that enables Thrivent customers to donate to the non-profit of their choice), Thrivent Action Cards and donations of materials and cash.

Piece Corps was started over 60 years ago at Faith Lutheran Church along with many other churches around the nation joining forces through Lutheran World Relief which started over 80 years ago after World War II.
