At Lake Washington Christian Church, we are concerned about
social justice and are actively involved in the community to help those in
need. We participate in local ecumenical community organizations and in
missions sponsored by the Disciples of Christ denomination.

Current Outreach Projects:
- Community Supper - LWCC
hosts the community supper for Kirkland Interfaith Transitional Housing
residents six times each year on the first Tuesday of January, March,
May, July, September, and November. Bring a food item for the taco bar or come and help set
up and serve.
- Tent City - Our support for the
Tent City 4 residents
continues through providing items that are needed. The needs change
weekly, so check out the updated list on the table in the foyer. A box for the donated items is in the foyer and if you
bring items that need refrigeration you can put them in the LWCC frig
with "Tent City" written on it. Tent City uses no government funding. If
you can make a donation, drop your check, made out to Share/Wheel, off
in the LWCC office (we will make sure it gets to the proper person) or
take it directly to Tent City 4 (a lock box is available at the site).
- Church World Service
Hygiene
Kits -
LWCC assembles
hygiene
kits for World Church Service.
These kits are sent all over
the world, wherever need exists, and regardless of religious belief.
Thousands of kits are needed to fill the needs of those who are hit by
natural disasters, war, poverty, and illness. Need always exceeds demand. Items needed to assemble kits
include: New or gently used hand towels and washcloths, combs, metal nail
files or nail clippers, bars of soap (bath size, not hotel size),
toothbrushes, toothpaste (4-7 oz each), Band-Aids (regular size), and
one-gallon plastic bags with zipper closures. Drop your donations off in the
box in the narthex. Cash is always welcome. Contact the church office if you have
questions. To learn more about Church World Service go to
www.churchworldservice.org.
