Welcome to Lutheran Charities of Western New York

Lutheran Charities’ primary mission is to support Western New York communities with kindness, compassion, justice and generosity, joining people where they are with what they need. We achieve this by underwriting grant funding for local agencies throughout the year, providing education, food, health care, social support and more to our neediest and underserved neighbors in Western New York. Uniting individuals, Lutheran congregations, corporations, and community organizations, Lutheran Charities provides a visible and viable force within the WNY community in terms of dollar amount as well as program support. JOIN US in GATHERING GOD'S GIFTS for GOOD!
