Holiday Food Baskets

Holiday Food Baskets is a program supported by Grace Lutheran, Peace Lutheran and St. John's Lutheran churches in Springfield to support local school families from McClernand Elementary, Franklin Middle, Jefferson Middle and Black Hawk Elementary Schools with food baskets during the time school is not in session for Holiday breaks (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas...). 

​

The teams are organized with about 50 members of the church, other Lutheran churches and other members of the community. 

We also thank Hy-Vee for their partnership with us!

​

​​Each year donations help cover the costs of these baskets to give to families from the local schools listed above.  We thank Mr. Blade and others for getting a THRIVENT ACTION CARD to help defer costs.
