We would like to share with you places to get food assistance in our area as well as some new volunteer opportunities. Besides supporting Messiah during this COVID-19 time, we would like to encourage you to support the greater church body and the world during this global pandemic.
Messiah also actively collects food items for the Heights Emergency Food Center, which serves residents of Cleveland Heights, University Heights, South Euclid and Lyndhurst who have emergency food needs. However, due to the social distancing requirements in the building, they do not have any space now for additional donations. We have several food drives throughout the year, now including the

The term refugee is often in the news these days, but can you correctly answer these questions about those who flee the unimaginable?
For 80 years, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) has offered welcome and hope to more than half a million refugees. Since 1939, LIRS has transformed lives, with the support of people like you, to welcome the most vulnerable to the United States — from sea to shining sea. Together we have supported, equipped and empowered these new Americans, while advocating for policy that protects all of God’s children.
